Different question for the ardent walkers:
1. You nick one. It looks really unclear whether it carried. The fielder claims it. You?
2. Your side get an LBW. The batsman walks off muttering that he hit it. You are captain...

1. Yes
2. If he says he hit it but no one else did then no.. if it’s obvious the panel umpire is a clown.. bring him back a shot some idiot has just ruined his weekend (sadly happens a lot and does put people off playing)

Unless you’re playing professional Cricket it’s a social game.. that’s kind of what’s amusing.. people see, to treat social Saturday’s as some form of excuse to pretend being competitive is to abuse and cheat to win. How about just play Cricket and if you’re better on the day you’ll win.. if not, you’ll lose.. at the end of the day all 22plauers are there as a hobby.. not to have someone they don’t know abuse them or cheat because they pretend they are some how more up for it. Or more competitive.

Amen.

To @six and out  yes, I’ve always walked, had an argument with a stumper during and after game as I walked for a thin nick, he smashed the vanilla of gave me a send off and still argued I was stumped after game.

1) If I clearly see it’s not carried I’ll ask the umpire to make the decision, if I don’t have a clear view and the stumper claims I walk off.
Ask @HallamKeeper he took one quite low off me, I turned round to see him very low and start celebrating, he looked happy enough so a walked off.

2)

Midweek game, there umpire, massive inside edge, some of our players went up, umpire triggered him. Guy looked so dissapointed.
I looked at guy fielding near me and said “massive inside edge wasn’t it” he said yes. So I rescinded the appeal and bought him back.

Leagues with umpires will be different to lower leagues as umpires will have to agree
