BLG Ump just wondering what you can say on this matter... thought umpires were supposed to make the game as fair as possible and call it as it is played... sure every ump misses a few calls and makes a wrong decision but to say something like that before the game has even started is surely not on...
im unsure on who the three lads were and looking at the score i don't think it really matters in the end but still surely thats not on...
BLG Ump has gone overseas, but I umpire and was in the rooms when this was said... it was a joke clearly. Still, the idiot that said that got a clip from me personally, and I can assure you that this DOESN'T EVER happen.
Who do you guys think should umpire the U17 Finals... A Graders or regular U17 guys...?
