       Martin Saggers with an early contender for worst decision of the
       season for this LBW:

       A lot of guesswork going on there, but not playing a shot often
       takes away the benefit of the doubt in the Umpire's mind.

       It's definitely one of those unspoken rules that probably
       shouldn't exist but everybody knows does, though it is strange
       that top level umpires sometimes take the same approach to local
       2nd XI ones

       I cannot explain the decision by Saggers. Sometimes a batman's
       foot is moving away from the line of the stumps and lands way
       outside although the ball hit the pads closer to the line of the
       off stump. But this isn't the case here and there is no way the
       ball was turning enough to hit the stumps. Very odd from an
       experienced official.

       I believe he was at weetwood with Simon Widdup on 9 april doing
       a Leeds/Bradford university friendly. An all Doncaster born
       umpiring team.
