2.11 DISAGREEMENT AND DISPUTE

Some useful signals include:

i) Number of balls left in an over

Umpires may signal to each other after the 4th or 5th ball of an over
Players will notice these signals and will be prepared to move ready for the start of next over

ii) One of the umpires should be aware of the postions of the batters when a catch is taken and the batters are running

The position at the moment the catch is completed will determine which end the new batter will occupy

iii) When the height of a delivery is important

The umpire at the striker's end can visually assist his colleague such as when a 'bouncer' or 'beamer' is bowled, or the height of the ball on the batter's pads when there is an appeal for LBW
