Umpiring

This page is all about umpiring cricket matches, and includes my notes from training sessions.

I am currently on the ECB ACO Umpiring Pathway at levels W6 and M6 (for women’s and mixed cricket, respectively).

Umpiring kit

I currently own one umpiring T-shirt: the ECB Umpire Polo Shirt (Ref: EU237021); sadly in a men’s cut. This item does not appear to be listed when searching through the shop’s pages, and I have only been able to locate it via web searches.

Essentials to carry with you to matches:

• On-field
  • Clicker
  • Bowling markers
  • Notebook
  • Pens
  • Match cards
  • Sunglasses
  • Hat
  • Snacks
  • Gauges (bat and ball)
  • Paper clip for bowler’s hat
  • Lozenge for sore throat
  • Plasters
• Off-field
  • Spare shoes and socks
  • Spare T-shirt
  • Tom Smith’s
  • Blue book
