I always teach new umpires to answer Not Out appeals verbally and clearly. I believe this is essential good practice. Obvious, you may say but how many umpires do we all know who do not do this? In particular, many Test and ODI umpires merely stand there motionless looking like startled rabbits with maybe a belated slight shrug or shake of the head. NO WONDER WE SEE EXCESSIVE APPEALING. As soon as your decision is "Not Out" - SAY SO! End of appeal!

It's good to see this one raised, because we do see some poor practices by our ICC colleagues. Law 3.14 stipulates that outs and not outs are to be dealt with thus: "Out - by raising an index finger ABOVE THE HEAD. (If not out, the umpire SHALL CALL Not out.)" Despite this, we see Test umpires giving batsmen out by pointing at them, and we see the giving not out decisions with either silence or a slight shake of the head, or both. Poor form.

Agreed with "sillypoint" . Its very good practice to call NOT OUT,if applicable. This not only clears the verdict to all the on field players but also gives impression that judgement is confident enough. This practise is very much important as umpiring point of view.
