What Do All The Hand Gestures Mean That A Cricket Umpire Does?

Answer Question

2 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    In cricket the umpire gives various signals and gestures to indicate the type of incident that has just been caused by the ball leaving the bowlers hand, meaning the ball is in play.  These signals and gestures enable the scorers of the match to accurately score the game as it continues.  

    The umpire can give signals for the following; Out; either bowled, stumped, LBW, caught or run out.  A wide, a no ball, a bye, leg bye, a batsman scoring four runs, a bats man scoring six runs and in professional cricket the umpire can also indicate to the 'third' umpire he needs the help of television replays.  

    Each umpire tends to have a slightly varied signal or gesture to illustrate his point; for example, the raising of a solitary finger, to around his head height; this means the batsman has been given out, but most test and county cricket umpires have a slightly different method of signalling this.
