I was batting in the midweek league, the 18 over slash, two of your team umpiring. Anyway the ball raps me on the pads, big shout of howzat goes up but not from the bowler, it was from the umpire, who was one of our bowlers and just couldn’t help himself. The bowler then turns and rather meekly says ‘Howzat’ and ‘our bowler/umpire’ says not out. The wicket keeper comes up to me and says it was never out, it was going down leg. What a fair bunch of chaps Old Monktonians were ��
