What Score Is It In Cricket...............

[10ClarionSt]

...........when the umpire shows a jumper and a cap to the scoreboard? Or is he just saying "Look at this lot I've got to put up with"? Any comments?

It's too cold out here bring me something warmer

Never come across that particular thing. It is not a recognised signal.

[10ClarionSt]

They do it regularly, Danny.

Strange, I played cricket for over thirty years at different levels and I have never seen that.

Do I look like a clothes horse?

Danny, it was "a tongue in cheek" question. If anyone hits a six whilst the umpire is holding a bowlers' cap or jumper, he just lifts the lot up to signify the six. I just think it looks funny. And silly at the same time.

Nothing here among umpires signals

'How much for this lot?'

[rowanwitch]

Not in any of the recognised lists, I wonder if it has developed as part of the video review system and hasnt been formally incorporated. Maybe seeing what happens before or after would help you work it out. Mum used to be a score keeper I will ask her when I phone her.

Ah! sorry, I have seen that but never guessed that was what you were talking about.lol

[rowanwitch]

Bar. Steward you had me going there.

One umpire I came across used to tie the sweater round his waist and put the cap in his pocket.
