As one of the umpires of the Big Bash Final held at GH1 on Sunday, I need to report that two Chicago Fire players used unspeakable words of abuse against one of the umpires (me) because he got LBW and another player used unspeakable words against a Streamwood CC player without provocation.

The other umpire of the match, Jatinder, described the abusive words by Chicago Fire players as "sharper than a knife stab".

And people wonder why nobody wants to do umpiring in the league?

This match ran for more than 6 hours and in addition to the two of us umpires having to stay on the field for much longer than what we are supposed to, we have to put up with this kind of abuse?
