After the Peter Parker comment in the SA v NSW game earlier this season ("probably killed some f*cking bride") you would of thought the umpires would have learnt. Not so Tonight in the WA v Qld game the umpires were awaiting a run out result. They weren't sure which player was run out as there was a decision that was referred to the 3rd umpire then after that the other player didn't make hi ground at the other end. The red light was given but they still didn't no which player. The comment from the umpire "We know he's out but which one? Just f*cking talk". Entertaining stuff

How stupid were they, weren't they watching the game or something?

its difficult to keep an eye on the action and an eye on when and where the batsman cross over usually watching the action takes more importance for obvious reasons

More stupid than anything is not realising the mic is on and then dropping the f bomb. Doesn't offend me but surely they realise they are being broadcast live on national tv?

umpires = stupid comments.
ive umpired cricket and its not hard to work out what batsmen is where at the time, they obviously enjoyed watching the big screen too much.
