Cricket is not just about the players but also about umpires who amuse spectators with their style of umpiring. At times, the way an umpire signals becomes the talking point of the match. Recently, a clip went viral on social media where an umpire left everyone in splits with his humorous manner of signaling a wide ball. During the video, the umpire imitated World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) legend Triple H's style while signaling the wide. His surprise action caught everyone's attention and soon found itself being discussed online. The Funny Wide Ball Moment in Triple H-inspired Way In the viral video, a bowler bowled a very bad wide ball. Umpires typically use their arms to indicate a wide, but this umpire chose to do something innovative. He spread out his legs like a gymnast and then signaled a wide in Triple H style. The audience and spectators on the internet were amused, and the clip is now getting shared extensively.

Triple H (WWE) 😂- Look at the Umpire 👇🏻 pic.twitter.com/CNmemPI2od — Richard Kettleborough (@RichKettle07) August 8, 2025 Most cricket enthusiasts likened this umpire's action to the manner of old New Zealand umpire Billy Bowden, who was popular for his engaging umpiring. The eccentric gestures of Bowden, such as his "crooked finger of doom" for sending a batter out, were followed by fans from around the world. He brought some humor with his quirky six and four signals, in addition to his body language and facial expressions. Bowden umpired for over 20 years. He umpired 84 Tests between 2000 and 2015, 200 ODIs between 1995 and 2016, and 24 T20Is between 2005 and 2016. He also umpired women's cricket, i.e., 1 Women's Test, 21 Women's ODIs, and 25 Women's T20Is. The new viral clip of this Triple H-style wide ball signal has also brought back memories of Billy Bowden's heyday and reminded one that even umpiring could be fun.
