Conflict
Situation
The
handling of conflict situations requires special management skills.
Animosity
on the field can arise from two sources:
1.
Player vs. Player
2.
Player vs. Umpire
Player
vs. Player
Some
umpires have a dislike for getting involved whilst others may step in
too quickly, either way the umpires will quickly lose the respect of
the players. Never react too quickly.
1.
A disappointed bowler needs a little time to cool down. If the
incident happens during an over, consider waiting until the over is
completed before saying anything
2.
An astute captain will realize his bowlers cannot perform to their
optimum if they are rattled and will quite often speak to the player
3.
If this happens wait to see, if it produces the desires effect. If
not you should have a quite word saying something like “Come on
mate, don’t let things get too heated out there”. This is a non
threatening/informal way of defusing a potential problem affecting
further into the match. If the bowler shows no interest in improving
his/her behavior, involve the captain immediately along with your
partner request to take action,
Player
vs. Umpire
Often
the fielding team will feel aggravated over a decision. To show that
the umpire is in control and of good temperament he should stand by
his decision and reject of feeling guilt.
1.
In the first instance, request the captain to control his players in
accordance with the Spirit of Cricket.
2.
If requires to speak to a player, never walk towards in an aggressive
manner or point fingers in an animated way.
3.
Always involve the captain and your fellow umpire so that all
concerned will know what was said,
4.
Any reports procedure involved, it must be made together with your
colleague even if you are not heard what was said. You will know by
the reaction of the player that there was a problem and your
collective input into the report will be crucial when a hearing takes
place.
5.
Successful umpires know
how much to take before acting under the code of conduct.
