2007 ICC World Twenty20 Officials - Style of Umpiring

Style of Umpiring

The fast-paced, exciting nature of Twenty20 cricket has led to some umpires in domestic Twenty20 competitions using much more flamboyant signals than they would otherwise use. The ICC has, however, issued special instructions to the umpires, telling them to remain calm and to officiate in their normal manner, so as not to distract spectators from the cricket and to ensure that they are concentrating fully on any decisions they may be asked to make.
