The thing which concerns me is the fact that the standing umpires hadn't got the ability to make the decision without referring it to the third umpire. I thought these were supposed to be the elite members of our fraternity.

It never ceases to amaze me as to what finds its way on to YouTube. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYuFZFIDIv8 shows a bowler dramatically collapsing when the umpire rejects his histrionic appeal. |

Blatant show of public dissent. Liable to whatever action the rules permit.
I, for one, would have immediately spoken to the fileding side captain.
Moreover, there's no way I would have moved towards the bowler to return his cap. If he wanted it back, he would have to come to square leg to get it.

Surely it's best to laugh at ridiculous behaviour like this. I could clearly hear laughter in the background and, if it's being treated as a humorous incident by others, by joining in you're more likely to be respected if there's a real incident requiring action later on. It might be as well though to suggest to the bowler that an encore wouldn't be appreciated. |

Yes, Jaybee. I am all for tempering the action as per the offence and game situation and going along with some fun. But this appears blatant. Certainly no laughing matter. :o)
Anyway, in any serious game, I would be inclined to come down heavily on such conduct.
