Umpire cheating under broad daylight? A video shared by Richard Kettleborough from his social media account 'X.'. Though, the question is in a playful manner. The caption of the post makes the video more fun to watch.
It is a clip from a cricket match of a group of school students. Some young boys were enjoying a match under a sunny day in the Whites. There is no clear detail about the game. The only thing the viewers can get after watching the video is a pure smile on their face.
The caption of the video reads, "Cheating by the umpire in broad daylight! It was a plumb LBW, but the umpire seems to have some other plan. Look at the reaction of Bowler and other players. A must-watch video."
Did the umpire make wrong call?
Actually, the bowler in the video delivered a full-length video, which lashed on the pads of the right-handed batter. The batter went to play a sweep show but missed it completely. The foot of the batter was right in front of the stumps and the ball, which was fuller, landed directly on the pad. From the video it seems like a clear LBW. But the umpire, who also was a young boy, denied the sought from the fielding team.
After the decision by the umpire, the reactions from the bowler and the fielders were also unmatchable. They couldn't believe that that was not an LBW. May be it was a clear LBW; that's why Kettleborough wrote in a funny way, "Cheating by the umpire in broad daylight!" The umpire's decision is undoubtedly debatable, but without any doubts, this video is definitely worth being viral on social media platforms.
