Reader Richard James Roundtree shares some classic quips he’s heard in junior cricket games that he’s umpired.
Fielder to batsmen
‘I’ve seen a better cut from a broken bottle.’
‘I’ve seen a better shot in a bar.’
‘I knew you could never pull… it off.’
After a batsmen hit a glorious 6: ‘Well, that was a bit short… is that all you got?’ (The batsmen went out the next ball!)

Batsman to his batting partner
‘Is your father a surgeon? You cut the field in two.’
