The Cricket Umpiring Signals. The Laws of Cricket. #Cricket #Umpire #Signal #PCB #ECB #MCC #Law

In cricket, an umpire (from the Old French nompere meaning not a peer, i.e. not a member of one of the teams, impartial) is a person who has the authority to make decisions about events on the cricket field, according to the Laws of Cricket. Besides making decisions about legality of delivery, appeals for wickets and general conduct of the game in a legal manner, the umpire also keeps a record of the deliveries and announces the completion of an over.

Method
An umpire is a person who has the authority to make judgements on the cricket field, according to the Laws of Cricket. Besides making decisions about legality of delivery, appeals for wickets and general conduct of the game in a legal manner, the umpire also keeps a record of the deliveries and announces the completion of an over.
Out
An umpire will not give a batsman out unless an appeal is made by the fielding side, though a batsman may walk if he knows himself to be out. If the fielding side believes a batsman is out, the fielding side must appeal, by asking "How's that?" or "How was he?" (or by any other means that either umpire deems as a method of appealing). The umpire's response is either to raise his index finger above his head to indicate that the batsman is out, or to clearly say "not out", which is usually accompanied with a shake of the head. The 'out' signal is the only signal that the scorer does not have to acknowledge.

No Ball
An umpire will signal a dead ball by holding one arm out horizontally and shout "no ball". The no ball doesn't count as one of the six in the over, and severely reduces the ways in which a batsman may be out, with the most common forms of dismissal all being removed, except for run out. The batsman may attempt to score runs from the no ball.
Wide
A wide ball is the term used to describe a delivery which is too wide or too high to be hit by the batsman. A wide is signalled by extending both arms out horizontally and is accompanied by a call of wide ball. It does not count in the over, and again reduces the way in which a batsman can be out. If a delivery satisfies the criteria for both a no ball and a wide, the call and penalty of no ball will take precedent.

Bye
Normally, if the ball passes the batsman without being deflected, the wicketkeeper will catch it. This normally prevents the scoring of runs because the batsmen will be unable to complete a run before being stumped or run out by the wicketkeeper. However, if the wicketkeeper fumbles or misses the ball, the batsmen may be able to score runs safely, and may choose to do so. The number of runs scored are scored as byes. They are added to the team's total, but not to the number of runs scored by either batsman and will not be considered as runs conceded by the bowler. If runs are to be scored as byes, the umpire will hold up one open palm above the head.

Leg Bye
If the ball deflects off the batsman's body and needs to be gathered by a fielder, the batsmen may have the opportunity to score runs safely, and may choose to do so. The number of runs scored are scored as leg byes. They are added to the team's total, but not to the number of runs scored by batsman and will not be considered as runs conceded by the bowler. Leg byes are signalled by the umpire touching a raised knee.

Dead Ball
An umpire will, in certain circumstances (first five points below), signal a dead ball by crossing and uncrossing his wrists below his waist with the call “dead ball”.

Short Run
If one of the batsman turns to complete runs after the first without grounding his person or equipment behind the popping crease, then a short run is signalled by the umpire tapping his near shoulder with his fingers and the short runs are not scored. If more than one run is short, the umpire will inform the scorers as to the number of runs scored.

Penalty Runs
For extreme misconduct by one team, the umpire may award five penalty runs to the other team. Placing one arm on the opposite shoulder indicates that the penalty run are awarded to the fielding team, but if the umpire taps that shoulder, the penalties are awarded to the batting team.

Five penalty runs are more commonly awarded when the ball strikes a foreign object on the field, usually a helmet of the fielding side.

Disregard Last Signal
If the umpire makes an incorrect signal, he may revoke it. To do so, he crosses his arms across his chest, then makes the corrected signal.

Four
If a batsman scores four by hitting the ball across the boundary (not by actually running them), the umpire signals by waving his arm back and forth in front of the chest.

Six
If a batsman scores six by hitting the ball across the boundary (not by actually running them), the umpire signals by raising both hands above his head.
