yesterday, officiating in a premier league game one of the bowlers, politely, questioned every lbw decision of which there were many- often unnecessary. I did give reasons for not giving the decision but this got a bit tiresome. Do other umpires give reasons before being asked, when asked or refuse- also how do you handle persistent appealing?

Probably not a recommended technique would be to question every appeal to see why they think they might not be playing at international level if they are so good.
It got to the stage one day that I asked the bowler the supplementary question I was asked when I took my ACU&S aural exam, which was along the lines of; There is an appeal for L.B.W., what are the ten things you need to consider before answering the appeal? Strangely enough the appeals became fewer, and the bowler had a perplexed look on his face.

whilst I am inclined to explain my not out decision I will often do so by asking 'where do you think that pitched' or 'where did that hit the batsman' if it becomes persistent I am inclined to say that I am becoming fed up with the persistence and will not give any more details

Haven't really had anyone persistent enough lately to need to do anything other than explain, but it's always as well to be prepared ... so how about:
'Well why do you think it might be not out?'

Whatever the real reason, if the bowler asks in this sort of manner "going down leg ump?" I tend to smile and nod. Generally I am happy to give a reason, but having given it I am not prepared to enter into a discussion.

I assume that as this was a premier league match that there would be a time limit for the bowling of the scheduled overs and penalties for failure to do so. On that basis I would point out to bowler and captain that the time being taken by the bowler in questioning decisions was not being classed as stoppage time; I am pretty sure that this would result in far fewer interrogations. |
