#4 Should I make the TV umpire work just because I am paranoid?
A lot of times, square leg umpires take third umpire referrals to another level. The on-field umpires probably envy the third umpire. I am sure, the square leg umpire finds himself thinking, ‘Ah, there’s a run-out appeal, let me wake the third umpire up.
So, what if the batsman’s bat is beyond the stumps leave alone the popping crease!’ Sometimes, they may be paranoid too. I am sure they’re wondering, one way or the other, these crowds will think me a fool. Better embarrass myself by referring an innocuous decision than embarrass myself by not referring a decision and finding that I was inexcusably wrong!
