THE WORST UMPIRING EVER SEEN - DUNC THROWS HIS BAT - WE TOOK 15 WICKETS! - WALTON VILLAGE CRICKET 

It does not matter what division you are in , the dress code for someone acting as umpire remains the same.

Always the Asian teams mate. If people want to accuse me of being racist for saying that, it's up to them but I am not, I just know over my many years playing local league and village cricket that the Asian teams take the game far too seriously and they will do literally anything to win. It's even worse when they play each other - a couple of years back, two Asian sides hired our pitch and the game ended up with a mass brawl, and GBH committed through assault with a bat. They can never chill out, they wildly appeal for everything, sledge all the time and cheat and ruin the game then accuse anyone who calls them out for it, racist. Sick of it to be honest. Well done for telling the truth here.

Can we all just agree that if you're nicked it and your mate is umpiring that you walk? It's a shitty thing to do to leave him in a position to give you out when you know that you are, and it only harbours bad feeling. Batsman need to take some responsibility at this level of the game too.

Played Kent league cricket - a level below panel umpires - and the umpire at one end was not calling no balls. Blatant no balls, ball after ball. The bowler was getting an extra yard of pace and taking wickets. That bowler was the umpire’s son. Cheating at cricket is the lowest of the low. However, as blatant as the sabotage and cheating was, you cannot appeal for LBW standing at mid wicket regardless of how plum it might look

Played there... no surprises whatsoever

Not very often a cricket team embarrasses themselves on and off the pitch in the same afternoon. Bad luck guys hopefully what goes around comes around 🏏

What dreadful behaviour...and spoiled the match for us viewing public as well with the petty vandalism of the camera. Well done to Walton for holding up, and applaud your statement Bison! If the spirit of the game dies, there is no game.

umpiring and getting a suntan at the same time that's true village multitasking there 😀 Another great video thank you

Our 3rd team had a similar situation in the 1st game, the league knew about this team but did nothing as didn't want toupset them, in the return game, club captain asked if i didn't mind dropping down from the 1st team, opening bowler, nipped it along at about 70-75mph plenty quick enough for div 7 lol.... was my pleasure, 7-26, thank you very much.... after that, they had to have neutral umpires at their own expense

Have come across something similar. In the end, the majority of the rests of the sides in the league would mysteriously cry off during the week before they were due to play the problem side saying they couldn't raise a side that week. It meant the problem side got promoted but rarely played a fixture that season. Which was a win win for all of the other sides in that division. Plus it was a level playing field for the other sides as we all got deducted 5 poinys for crying off versus the problem side.

Been there, seen it experienced it. Father Umpiring and son bowling, what could go wrong. Just don't get hit on the pads anywhere or your done like a kipper

Topless umpires? F!CK that. Like getting his tan is more important than umpiring.

I once captained our main limited-overs team against a (historically) strong team. The venue was always conducive to huge run-scoring. The outfield was always fast, and the pitch was a belter...most of the time. But...player umpires can sometimes be the bane of many a good cricket match. As captain, I always told my umpires... If something seems out, think about it twice, and if you still believe it's out, give him out. I do not tolerate cowboys that give teammates out with gun fingers because a pad was hit and you didn't bother to consider height or travel. But I also despise cheating. If it hits a batter halfway up his shin and you couldn't see any stumps, then he is out. And I will not defend you with the opposition if you blatantly cheated. That day the opposition was 9 down, and still required 30 runs for the win. They had the time to get there, but not the skill. In walks the last batsman, but with an umpire replacement next to him. Their captain. I immediately brought myself on to bowl from the same end their captain would umpire as I wanted to see, from my accurate perspective, the level of cheating that may commence. He called balls wide that passed inside the marker by 10 cm. When he knew I caught on to it, he started calling front-foot no-balls (and I already asked my cover fielder to monitor my front foot for when this will inevitably happen). When he called the second no-ball I called my fielder in and had a word with the umpire. Telling him I was on to him, and I will be submitting a report as both my fielder and I have been anticipating this and we both know that zero no-balls were bowled. Then I got an edge on the batter...it went to the first slip, but was taken by the keeper. Not out. Now there was pandemonium, but he decided to threaten us with reports of his own. Yet...I heard the non-striker mutter "not this again..." It turns out it was a regular occurrence. I then got the batter LBW...twice...halfway up his front and back foot, three balls apart. Dead middle. Not out ...both times. Our entire team sat down in disgust while he started to look as if he was fearing for his life. The non-striker turned to him and scolded him. "I want to lose with honor before winning like this, skippy" An over later the batter was given out from the other end...from a edge we were unsure occurred. Speculative appeal. But clearly, the other guy decided that balance needed to be restored. A year later we played them again, and their skipper was now just a player. A very quiet player that never saw umpiring duties.

That's the trouble at lower league levels very often it's not neutral umpires and in many cases the teams have to umpire the games themselves! I played for my local team for thirty years and saw all this and more

There's some dreadful stuff in that first innings. Bat chucking at the Mankad, and bat chucking and kicking at being bowled. Not where I'd chose to be spending my Saturdays

Great to watch blokes of my standard getting commentary 😊👍

Yes very familiar situation, we had a couple of sides in our league like this . In the end the rest of the teams got together and vetoed them out of the league . Basically every side said they would refuse to play them home and away.

Massive fine for umpiring with no shirt on!

Can’t wait to see the rematch at your place. The camera might just run out of charge when your bowling 😂😉

It's a tough game at the lower levels and it is even harder keeping cool sometimes. As mentioned below...keep your standards, dont throw bats and smile (in anger) if clear mistakes are continually happening. If cheating has taken place then you generally find they never see a problem with it and therefore only get happier seeing you explode in frustration. Winning at all costs is a sad reality in this world. It is just a shame that it enters the world of our fun Saturday cricket - which we have to pay for too :)

Absolutely awful. A shame this happened. Karl, I am Middlesex prem player and would love to help u teach them a lesson in the home fixture 😂.

How can anyone concentrate on the cricket when Mayo is like that! Blends into the site screen i suppose!! 😂

I sometimes console myself with the fact that test match umpires frequently get decisions wrong, even those knicks behind. But teams deliberately cheating in order to win particularly in the lower leagues I’ve played is entirely pointless particularly since cricket is to be enjoyed for the competition AND the social afterwards.

I've had games where theyve outright said 'sorry lads we dont give LBW' but if theyve genuinely moved the camera to avoid evidence, that's a whole new level 😂 Can't be having the Bengals slander #WhoDey

I'll umpire the return if you like?.....With a shirt on.

Exact same thing happened with us over here in Northern Ireland last weekend. Decisions that were so obvious, even if you were purposely cheating, they still had to be given. Teams like these get a name for themselves very quickly. You know their standards for the return fixture

Having spoken to you on FB. I cane back to watch an episode. Epic stuff.

Unfortunately in our 6th division, most of the teams are like this that we play against. They will not give LBW's and they are reluctant to give a caught behind if the batsman doesnt walk. So we have a simple rule. No matter how plum it looks, we don't give LBW's on the front foot. Of course we also judge the other teams umpiring if they bat first (Which happens in all but 1 or 2 games a season, we are blessed by the tossing gods). If they umpire fair, then we return the favor. This hardly ever happens unfortunately.

I am disappointed to miss my man Dunc have a bowl , glad to see he got some runs I think all cricketers should have a word if you know you hit the ball and the fielder catches it walk we all have a responsibility to play the game in the right way. On LBW I think we have to accept that people will make mistakes (especially with batting team umpires as there view will ways only if 100% and remember most have not trained as an umpire) but if becomes more than twice then it does seem more of agenda I agree Look forward to see Dunc bowl next week Can we start a go fund me page for Mayo so he can wear a shirt whilst umpiring it’s unfair on the views to have to see that body 😂

Robbed! Cant wait for the next game u play them

On a positive note...well batted bison + dunc.. Looking forward to the return fixture.

Lot of comments here and a couple I found to be derogatory. But this is only one side of the story. Wonder what the other team thinks of this situation. I love this channel and I come here for the laughs from the USA. Not the wins or fails. Actually the fails are more fun. Keep up the sprit of the game. I'll keep watching.

When I used to play many years ago, we had one team we actually could never field a side against. Although we had a large playing pool to choose from, we never had sufficient players available to play against that certain team. Meaning that we had to forfeit the games against them. Sadly this state of affairs came to pass after a number of years of blatant cheating suffered by us. At that time (the late 70's to late 80's) each team provided their own umpire. Unfortunately the umpire who appeared for that certain team probably knew more about the Highway Code than he did the Laws of Cricket. Thankfully the league then started appointing neutral umpires to all games and surprising no one that certain club started to lose a lot more games than they used to win.... But I would also add that it does no good to have your own players behaving badly. That simply makes it look as if you're no better than the opposition. I know it can be frustrating, but as someone else has mentioned on here, always try to smile, even when things are going very badly against you!

I would love to see a test umpire to umpire a test match on a hot day without a shirt like the bloke who was umpiring your game 😁😁😁

That’s the problem with lower level cricket , can’t be arsed with the shocking dismissals and the ones I’ve done as well , not a fan of throwing and kicking bats

Just thought I'd let you know your summer of whoooaaooaaoos is just beginning. The Aussies are on the way for the Ashes series. 😂

I would recommend your own team remain above reproach. No throwing bats, wearing a white top, coloured trousers while umpiring etc. It does not make your team look good either. Get some of your players on an umpiring course (even if they are current players). It is astonishing the number of players who do not know the MCC and league playing rules. It is a disgrace when you feel you are playing a team that are taking extreme liberties but do not fall to their level and do not let your standards fall. It is very difficult to prove beyond doubt that this team cheated but the preponderance of the evidence does support they are as guilty as a puppy sitting next to a fresh steaming pile of poo!

Bison, does that wallpaper help calm you down after a weekend not being in the wicket club?

Nice to see a cameo from Orange Cassidy as Umpire

Nice to see one of the umpires on holiday in West Indies looks nice weather over there 😂😂😂

One game I watched last year there was a stumping appeal. Square leg umpire was a 12 yo on his phone, he says "Dunno..."

Certain 'Types' of teams do it more than others. I don't want to get in trouble elaborating.

Club Umpire here - Bare chested Umpires - what witchcraft is this?

We get this all the time. We give lbw decisions. Batsmen walk if nicked it. Not harsh on wides. Then get screwed over...we play league cricket but work on a monday so the other team won...big deal. they need to get real and play in the spirit of this beautiful game

I’m sure you’ve got a sub who lives near enough to umpire the return

Did your team give any LBW?

LMAO, you get that in the lower grades. I have played in our thirds on and off for about ten years after playing firsts and later seconds for thirty odd years. I actually went the dark side and umpired for a few years and got to Umpire a B Grade Grand Final and a few A Grade games along the way as well but its not the same as playing so I went back. My comp has 3 Shield grades and 7 lower grades and my side is in the 4th grade of the lower grades and we rarely get Umpires. Now they expect me to Umpire when we are batting, at 58 I am still batting about 8 so normally Umpire until about 4 down. Umpires get a fair bit of abuse which is why most blokes dont want to do it, its not an easy job its pretty thankless tbh. I would rather be playing though those days are fast coming to an end. In our comp most Captains just say before hand LBW's are not out unless absolutely plumb, stops the fights and arguing.

I've seen this happen too many times but don't worry if they go up the leagues eventually you get official umpire's then they come straight back down !

Should've titled this The Topless Umpire. 😢

So the only possible dismissal other than a clear catch is bowled? I wonder if there were any late no ball calls?

We used to play against a team like this who were notorious for their umpiring calls (never giving themselves out). So eventually when ever we’d play them we would always put them in to bat first if we could. Then if they have nothing we then have nothing. Two can play the silly buggers game 😂

The "runout" wasn't out the law this season states that if the bowler is at a point when a matter can clearly believe the ball will be delivered then a run out cannot take place a dead ball will be called.....that in my view was a serious breach of the spirit of the game and there was also excessive appealing going on

According to the rules of cricket the player was correctly called out. If this rule appears to be upsetting then the rule needs changing.

I know you'd have initially lost any points from the match but probably would have made sense to walk off rather than stick around for the end of that, moving the camera suggests they knew exactly what they were doing....the mankad was bad enough especially at div 6 level let alone the rest of it

This is so infuriating. When i played a few seasons without neutral umpires i was never given a single lbw. When i moved up the first team and neutral umpires I got plenty given. I sppreciate anything mildly debatable will not be given but when hitting them on the foot in front of middle is greeted with 'hit him outside the line' it is difficuit to keep your cool.

Plenty of sides like that in S. Wales, they even try to cheat at the toss 😅 very sad….

We have a team in the GCCL, that are well known to not give any LBW, caught behind and runout decisions and appeal excessively. We play this said team on saturday and half of our team aren't interested in playing due to the blatant cheating

Played there last season. Horrendous ground, horrendous bunch of lads, horrendous pitch, horrendous clubhouse. Biggest cheats in all 9 divisions.......at least they have sightscreens now though! Get them reported Carl, no place in cricket for cheats like that

Will look forward to the return fixture hopefully karma prevails that day and they get a proper hammering

Oh my God, when you see that ground you must be thinking lets just get this game over and done with!!!

Have you provided a video of the return match?

Trouble is you make a complaint & they play the race card

man, those low ones looked horrible

Played a game years ago where the winner of the game went through to regional finals. Their opening bat was stone dead LBW first ball of the innings. Umpire said it couldn’t be out as it was first ball of the innings. He went on to get a hundred which ended up being the difference as nobody else on their team did much damage

What were the teas like?

Umpire NO shirt. Looks terrible.

I hate teams who can’t be fair. Same happened to us this Saturday. We had 9 men and they still had cheek to cheat us was embarrassing. Lost in last over too what made it even worse 😅

what a shocker of a ground..... backed up with a shocking mankad and blatant umpiring .... wow.......

I played them last season- Barwell 2nds Vs gng. For 20 minutes, one of their batsmen wouldn’t walk even though he was out his crease as well as multiple plum lbws that were not given

Any reason why you don’t put the scorecards on play cricket?

Absolutely shocking, totally against the spirit of the game. I can accept losing, it is part of the game...but cheating...and blatant cheating...NO. Lesson from this...never leave the camera unattended from now on. Looking forward to the return match...

Bison.. That team were a bunch of wankers with the way they behaved that game, make sure you get your strongest possible team out next time, and ask a senior person at your club to umpire both ends for the game! Revenge, is best served by a fairly umpired leather chasing...

I would be more than willing to come and umpire the return fixture, I’m ECB level two qualified.

WOW!!! I can tell you this S&$t happens in Australia too, lower level cricket they may as well take the LBW rule out. As for the caught behinds, the batsman should walk, it is him that looks like the tool. I have now subscribed on the back of this, so hopefully some positives.

Exactly the same when we played them!

Surely if you did walk off the game would have to be resulted as abandoned? Correct me if I’m wrong

Umpiring with no shirt on? Come on fellas 🤨

I would suggest Vanilla Ice missed quite a few dead in front as well to be fair, as for the Mankad to be fair they brought the fat lad back and I apologise for knocking the camera tripod when I was walking the dog. I think this is the racism that Ebony R Brent is talking about.

I feel like they decided that because they didn't get decisions from you guys, they wouldn't give anything themselves. They failed to realise however, that the reason you guys didn't give anything is because all of their shouts were pretty obviously not out. Every LBW besides one was clearly down leg... So they felt slighted by your team's decisions despite their appeals being terrible. Sorry you guys had to deal with this, very frustrating!

Sorry but from what I saw of your innings there appeared to be a few LBWs that your umpires didn't give either. The joys of league cricket. I see it's not changed in the 25 year's since I played.

Is there a dress code for umpires? 😂😂

Was Steve Smith captaining?

We come across it with a couple of teams regularly. It does leave a bad taste in the mouth especially when they have more appeals than Oxfam. The mankad was disgraceful

how many LBW's did your team give and yes we all seen some,not sayin they were the wrong decisions but hey i used to always thinkmy LBWs should of been out,lol

I know exactly what you talking about mate play in the reserve leagues in cape town south africa 😂

Umpiring without a top. #villagecricket

The mankad was bad enough but when you can hear a double noise off camera and someone doesn’t walk/get given wtf has happened to the spirit of cricket. The LBWs can always be contentious when no neutral umps but when the ump just looks at the floor and utters not out and cannot give a reason for their decision making you know something nefarious is afoot. Shocking behaviour by the opposition.

No one is surprised when comes to teams like that opposition. Ruins peoples enjoyment of the game, puts players off playing, just isnt correct, but course nothing can be said about it can it! Will happen week in week out, happens all over the UK, just blatant cheating, imagine the up roar and complaints going in if your team acted like that and umpired like that!! Would love to umpire the return fixture!!

I reckon you could sell tickets for the return leg! Get a temporary stand up and it will be full!

Neutral umpires is easily solved. If every club sent two people on an umpiring course every winter then there'd be enough umpires to appoint neutrals. Too many people don't want to help though.

6:06 definitely not out keeper smashed the stumps

Your team is not alone

Mankad when not even backing up? And what's with the topless umpire? Both would not be allowed even in junior parks games

Get alot of teams like that in Peterborough, dont need to say what type of sides they are....

its such a shame as the walton lads seem a good honest bunch pitty other teams didn't follow the the same way

In the return see how they deal with a ton of short balls at pace.

Same umpire as the current ashes…. Couldn’t give an LBW…

You could have called one of their bowlers for chucking as well.

request a leauge umpire for the return fixture.

topless umpire the most village thing I've seen this year
