This may be old, but why is the umpire wearing a sort of arm guard thing?

It's hard to keep up with all the innovations in the game nowadays :-(

I'm sorry but if someone like Andre Russel is batting and he launches at one there's no fecking way I'm going to stand there and try and block it with a little shield.

Just get out the way asap

Surprised the umpires don't where helmets...
