Funniest LBW decision - Billy Bowden

[MrDerpPants]

"There's the appeal. Downara has a look around. Still no Billy, still no Billy, Billy goes for a wander, Downara ambles through for a single, then he comes back into position and UP GOES THE FINGER! THE CROOKED FINGER OF DOOM"

[ConfusedPingu]

@MrDerpPants If you are going to comment a pointless quote of a video that everyone has just watched, at least quote it correctly.

[smartdon007]

i thought he said the "cricket finger of Doom" !! LOL.....

[surfclimbcycle]

The crooked finger of a terrible umpire.

[newts8]

Billy bowden has lost the plot the poor cunt, absolutly plum, and he goes for a wander, thinks about it, thinks AGAIN, then decides, YEAH, i'll give that.

[MrSpitzHD]

@newts8 At least he got the correct decision in the end.

[newts8]

@MrSpitzHD yeah mate, he did, you have to love the characters in the cricket world.

[TheMegaHarvey]

What a legend

[hello27995]

Man, Billy Bowden makes me laugh sometimes

[rohitrez]

WTF

[america9880]

love u billy bowden....

[ali566]

billy is a character....good umpire though

[damo24now]

he's an idiot. it's all about him and not the game

[TheNightrain99]

Bowden is a fuckwit, plain and simple. No one wants to watch an umpire, they are there to watch the cricket.

[sunkenbrush1850]

TheNightrain99 no mate, you go to watch the cricket. I mean the ump is still on the field.

[TheNightrain99]

@sunkenbrush1850 Ummm, yeah... That is my point... No one is there there to watch Bowden, but he seems to want to be the centre of attention.

[ThunderStruckBeast69]

@TheNightrain99 Oh fuk up u idiot

[TheNightrain99]

@ThunderStruckBeast69 haha maybe you should learn how to type and spell before you call someone an idiot. Fucking illiterate spastic haha

[ThunderStruckBeast69]

@TheNightrain99 Maybe 'u' 'shud' understand that text language is necessary for people like me who don't want to waste time trolling on youtube like a faggot like you do. Maybe you should learn to be more literate.

[TheNightrain99]

@ThunderStruckBeast69 'faggot' now hey. You are not only illiterate but obviously hypocritical and insecure. Dude just be comfortable with your sexuality. Gay sex is fine. How long did it take you to come up with that sentence by the way? Quite a while I would imagine. Your obviously high intellect amazes me.

[ThunderStruckBeast69]

@TheNightrain99 Yep definitely, just as I thought, you're a troll -_-

[bsp0311]

It's almost like Bowden ad the shits with the non-striker and gave him out as soon as he reached the strikers end

[bsp0311]

It was almost like he had the shits with the non-striker and as soon as he got to the batting end he gave him out

[bsp0311]

By the way, who was Bowden giving out in the end???

[bsp0311]

Have to love Johnson's reaction - Bowden's finger goes up, Johnson looks around, and then begins to make his way back to the start of his run up as if Bowden's actions were a complete anomaly

[pageois]

Fuckwit.

[21champions]

u can expect this guy can do anything.end of the day he is darling of the cricket fans

[mrheropakistan]

hehehehehehehehehehheehheheheh­ehhehe

[ravenous071]

well i do have a job.....and i take it seriously at all times... i dont do nonsense as this......says a lot about you as a person defending him....i have nothing else to say

[hypnoticmonkey88]

I think billy was still thinking about whether he should give it out, then they started running and he realised if it was not out he needed to move to check for run outs, then decided it was out.

[alijeal]

anyone else think perhaps billy doesnt think they're appealing cos they all say aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. Then in the background you hear a "how was that" and he immediately starts walking to the stumps and puts his finger up. Its a bit petty of an umpire but it happens

[TheExpertanalysis]

@alijeal Gavaskar was so furious with cricketers appealing "Aaahhhh".

He was like "How was that" is called a appeal.

[SANAUL1988]

i think billy was thinking should i give it out or can they assume.then he realisis he has to give it out

[ravenous071]

i hate this fucking cunt umpire..such a fucking clown....need to get rid of him

[returnofspiggstime]

@ravenous071 how would you like it if someone said that about you at your job, if you have a job.

[hirdy6]

Just another attention seeking effort from this moron. Wouldn't be so bad if he didn't make so many shocking mistakes. I can't believe he still gets a gig.

[stophverismo]

he nailed him to the crease- nothing more plumb! should've been called before Jonno even turned around

[Englandsbestlover]

Why the pause? that was PLUM!!!

[bigmickno9]

@Englandsbestlover plumb. it's PLUMB

[wanker696cum]

LOL, good decision at the best, BUT he bitched the moment :L

[prabhupravinmk1]

finally good call

[Questionable23]

At least he made the right call :)

[cawtey101]

ti think johnson checked to see if the guy was run out when billy put the finger up

[myriad82]

had the batsman completed his run before the umpire gave the decission, i think he cannot be given out lbw..

[Gazzz87]

@myriad82 the ball is technically not over until the bowler has received the ball back.

[hayhowwho]

@Gazzz87 getting realy technical its not until the bowler enters the delivery stride of the next ball, the fun of 18 weeks of an umpire course to know that :P

[MGSmucker64]

Great Commentary

[Harry0Putt0Punjabi]

Whatever!

Billy Bowden is one of the funniest and the best Umpires!

[rk1271]

Hilarious!  Thank you!

[MegaCricket98]

go billy

[MegaCricket98]

hahahhaahah

[azkatro]

I think he was just in shock that Johnson manage to bowl a straight delivery.

[TheExpertanalysis]

@azkatro LOL.... I and my cousins crack so many jokes of Johnson.

Recent one being,Johnson unable to play against India in the test series,the result being more chances of Australia winning.

[NazAli139]

@azkatro thats an awesome Line...lol

[zeb120]

THE CROOKED FINGER OF DOOM

[nutty44nate]

it seems to me that only after he heard someone say 'howazat' he gave it out. Before that there was just a lot of yelling. An umpire can't give a decision out unless an opposition player requests.
