The Umpires in Cricket

          The Two Umpires checking whether the current light conditions are suitable for the play.






                            Some of the important Cricketing Signals used by the umpires.

1.1 There are three people who regulate and moniter the game they are the UMPIRES. There is no cricket without them. The First Umpire is the one who takes care about the WIDES, NO BALLS(see 1.3), Leg Before Wicket and the Run Outs at the Non-striker's end. The Second Umpire's main job is to decide the Run Outs at the striker's end. Both the Umpires use some signs to convey what's happening ing the game. The Third Umpire is the most important to a match.He makes the decicisions which are tough for the other two umpires to make. For Example if a Batsman is Run Out but the cameras can't give the proper view, then this is the time the Third Umpire plays an important role. There is another Umpire called the Fourth Umpire whose duty is not so a burden. Fourth umpire sometimes referred to as the reserve umpire, is a cricket official. For all international matches a fourth umpire is required to perform duties like bringing on the new ball, carrying drinks on to the field for the umpires and observing the pitch during the lunch and tea intervals to make sure there is no interference.
