I'm sure there are much worse ones but one really gets me. A batsman has his stumps shattered by a bowler, and the umpire puts up his finger to say out. I've just seen it on The Professionals where, to be fair, the batsman (Lewis Bodie) had been distracted and wasn't happy with his dismissal. So the finger-up had a point, but it's still wrong- the ump would just nod.
Gets me, it really does. But possibly not as bad as the 80s dramatisation of Bodyline, which had batsmen sweeping Larwood.
