Dust to Dust?

Highlight of the day: Billy Bowden losing his composure and yelling "Fuck!" after he was hit by the ball after a sweep shot, then realising quite a few people saw it and apologising to all and sundry (which these days would be "all and extra" - geddit?) It was good, umpires don't say fuck enough I think. Wouldn't it be better if instead of raising the finger to signal a batsman is out, they just said "fuck off, you were plumb." Instead of the cry of "No-Ball!" when a bowler oversteps the mark, they turned to said bowler, returning to his mark and quietly informed them to "lengthen your fucking run up fuck-face," "Wide" could become "fucking rubbish - do it again." For third umpire decisions, imagine a screen 30 feet wide saying "FUCK OFF" in big red letters for "out" and "YOU LUCKY LITTLE FUCKER" for not out.

Imagine that.
