According to the rules, you cannot show anger by expressing displeasure with the decisions of the umpire, but here we are telling you about two such incidents when the bowlers lost their temper after getting angry with the umpire.

Cricket is called Gentleman’s game, but there were many such incidents which also embarrassed cricket. The 2 stories that we are telling about it happened when the West Indies cricket team had a world cricket. Fast bowler Colin Croft hit the umpire in anger, while Michael Holding took out his anger on the stumps.

Why did Colin Croft hit the umpire?

Kolin Croft, one of the most dangerous bowlers of his time, was angry with the umpire. The incident took place in 1979-80 when the West Indies team was on a tour of New Zealand. During a match, Colin bowled a bouncer ball, which went to the wicket keeper through the bat. The bowler was sure that it would be out, but the umpire did not give it. Colin felt that the umpire did this intentionally. After this, the umpire gave a no ball on the next ball, this made the bowlers so angry that while bowling, the umpire deliberately pushed it. After this, the situation on the ground became tense. Surprisingly, Kolin Croft did not get any punishment even after this.

On the tour of New Zealand in 1980, the great bowler of the West Indies team Michael Holding also got so angry at the umpire that he kicked and uprooted the stump. This happened when the umpire rejected John Parker’s catch. After this, Holding uprooted the stumps of the striker and stumps in anger, which caused a lot of controversy. However, after this, Holding had admitted that his behavior was not correct, although he also said that it would improve the game.
