Watch: Umpire Goes Up In Appeal As Bowler Raps Batter On The Pads
Umpires have a long and difficult job of ensuring cricket matches go smoothly and the right decisions are taken. Often, they are subject to players appealing rather exuberantly for caught or leg before wicket chances. Some appeals are hilarious, while some can be downright annoying, especially when the bowler is absolutely convinced that he or she has got the wicket and the umpire is not. However, in a hilarious incident in a club match in England, an umpire briefly forgot his own role and joined in on the bowling team's appeal after a batter was rapped on the pads in front of the stumps.
