What this site is about
To be a good Cricket umpire you have to be a good
person
You need good people skills and to have good life values. You need to be honest, a person of integrity. You need a thorough knowledge of the laws of cricket, to be mentally tough when the pressure increases and conflict occurs. You need to be able to relate to players of different cultures, personalities and backgrounds. At times you have to be firm with players, but there are times when you can relax and share a laugh and a joke. You need good eyesight and hearing, powers of concentation and sufficient physical fitness to be able to make accurate decisions whether it be the first or the hundredth over of the day. This website aims to give cricket umpires (and players) tools and tips to better understand the role of the cricket umpire and the varied situations that can occur during a day’s play.
I think I got that
decision wrong!
“When you do make a mistake, you
have to look and see: what can I
learn from that, how does it fit into
my trends analysis, what can I do
differently next time I am presented
with the same sort of
circumstances"?
