Cricket screwing me again?

Come on you lazy game, you brought in so much trouble during my engineering. Now, you are all set to bring back some more trouble?

I am not the umpire for today's game, but some one from my team should do the umpiring. I voluntarily agreed to do this job for a match.

It is a sunny match. Final 2 overs to go. Team - B is chasing the target of 78 and have to score 11 runs from 2.1 overs with last wicket in their hand.

Batsmen has chosen a quick run and was almost run out. But there was enough confusion whether keeper handled the ball while hitting the stumps or not? I was about to have discussion with leg umpire. No team allowed me to complete decision and they group me, they shout at me...they do all possible nonsense there. Some one else from fielding side will say that "i am captain, talk to me" ...

It is now 2 overs, 10 runs situation...

One over completed with out any issues. I felt like moved to little comfort zone. Now 1 over 9 runs.

Again it started, batting side re-visited the score and said, it should be 8 runs and we are mistaken. Everything started again, Every fielder was coming and shouting " we will not play if this doesn't favor us" and one comes and asks other team captain to get off the field...

Now i dropped a complaint to League management about the rude behavior in a rude way. Is it going to put me in one more trouble? I give a damn, lets see..
