Ah, umpires... Without them, cricket wouldnt be. From the era of leaning over to standing upright, these fine fellows ensure the MCC havent wasted their time writing a whole set of Laws for cricket. There have been world famous umpires whom weve come to know and love. These include the elegant and humourous Dickie Bird, the superstitious David Shepherd, Steve Bucknor with his nod, out and index finger in that order, Rudi Koertzens slow death out signal, Simon Taufels youthfulness, and of course Billy Bowdens famously funny, and sometimes suggestive, umpiring signals. In a match between India and Pakistan, Indias Suresh Rainia decides to validate Billy Bowdens confirmation of a clean catch by a team mate to the amusement of everyone, including Bowden himself. Howzat Billy?!!
