Did you see the way he signalled a six?
What the hell? :D
Have you ever,ever seen it signelled like that?
Looked ridiculous but funny all the same.
Billy Bowden, bloody Kiwi's!!!

Messrs Bowden is well known for his antics. My mate calls his 6 signal the Karate Kid Crane Hop!

Billy Bowden - an absolute champion umpire! Glad to see a bit of personality back in the men in white.
Bowden loves signalling a 4 (the slap) and especially a big 6 (stand on one leg and slowly raise your hands and shake them).
Bowden will be the 3rd umpire for the Australia vs Sri Lanka game and is the running to be the umpire for the final

If the 9pt rule was bought into all AFL games,the goal umpires would probably start impersonating Billy when signalling the goal. :p

Not if Hayden has anything to do with it.

Can't see Billy getting the final. He is not on the elite panel.
You would think Shepherd and Bucknor for the third time in a row.
Maybe Koertzen on home soil. Harper might get the gig but only if the Aussies don't make it.

Go Aussies!
Has to be Shep and Billy!!!!!!!!
Both good umpires, yeah Hayden wasnt out re Billy, but both add colour to the game and are competent umpires, Id fall over if Shepherd wasnt one of them in any case!!!!

I reckon Shepherd would be a walk in to umpire the final. His record reflects the umpiring ability of this great man.

I think Billy bowden is a d*ck head.
He is a typical Kiwi.
I hate Russel Tiffan though. He seems to be always giving crap decisions against the aussies.
If he was a Kiwi umpire he was probably signaling "sex". That may account for the funny body movements.

. I never understand this mentality. No, I'm not a Kiwi, nor have a Kiwi girlfriend, parents etc... but a typical Kiwi is a d1ckhead in your book... Why?
Have a look at yourself mate.
