	Umpire (cricket) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Traditionally, cricket matches have two umpires on the field, one standing at the end opposite the striking batsman's end (behind the stumps) and one at square leg.
		When a ball is being bowled, one umpire (the bowler's end umpire) stands behind the stumps at the non-striker's end (that is, the end from which the ball is being bowled), which gives him a view straight down the pitch.
		If the umpire is unsure of a "line decision," that is, a run out or stumped decision, or if the umpire is unsure that the ball is a four, six, or neither, he may refer the matter to the Third Umpire.

	Umpire History
		Umpires were routinely spiked, kicked, cursed, and spat upon by players, while fans hurled vile epithets and all manner of debris at the arbiters.
		Umpires repeatedly were dismissed arbitrarily, and in 1953, for the first time in fifteen years, umpires received a modest salary increase--a salary range of $6,000 to $16,000 and an increase in World Series pay to $3,000.
		Exceptions like Luciano notwithstanding, the individuality of umpires was submerged by the four-member crew, the numerical expansion of staffs, the rotation among cities, the standardization of styles and techniques, the decline in the frequency of rhubarbs, and the attempt to project a more staid professional image.

		Often the plate umpire is in the worst situation to call the trapped ball, for example: a breaking ball in the dirt for the swinging third strike.
		Where this call is made the base umpire is often in a better position to relay the possession or trapping of the ball to the plate umpire.
		As the intervening umpire there is only one objective, calmly say to the coach "OK coach, let's get back to playing baseball, the discussion is over, lets get back to the game." Under no circumstances will the intervening umpire discuss the play or become involved in any rules discussion.

		Umpires frequently use this word to mean "retouch" referring to an umpire as having "all touches and tags" at a specific base.
		The plate umpire may not always have the luxury of moving down the third base line in foul territory (as afforded in a shared coverage system.) The plate umpire must always be moving into the diamond.
		The base umpire must concentrate on the touches and tags at first and second base for all runners and be aware of when the touch and tag at third is his call.

	The Physician and Sportsmedicine: The Sinus Tarsi Syndrome
		Living former umpires (with their calculated estimated death age based on current life expectancy as of January 1, 1998) were added to this set of data, and the analysis was repeated (table 1-B).
		*Umpire data in A are unbiased and contain the only complete cohort of deceased subjects with a year of birth of 1909 or earlier.
		If the data are unbiased and the life expectancies of umpires were essentially the same as that of the nonumpire cohort of the corresponding age, the average difference between these numbers would be close to zero.
