is it just a quirk like umpires hopping on one foot?

It's the broad Australian accent that causes all the problems
although if India and South Africa persist in trying to get the Boxing day test moved from the Melbourne Cricket
Ground when they tour the word you mentioned will be very useful and it wont be a pronunciation mistake that will be made by 90,000 to 100,000 cricket fans..

It is CATCH IT and not CATSHIT. When a batsman hits the ball in the air,the bowler and other fielders get excited and shout CATCH IT to the fielder who is fielding in the direction where the ball goes in the air.

CATCH IT! not catshit. why would anyone want to call catshit? Unless your next to a cat litter of course!
Alternativley it could be a feilder running around the word CATCH goes up and S*** when they drop it.

I'm not sure of the litter-al tranlation. Perhaps it's the way they are feline at the time. As for hopping on one leg, I thought I had a good case against it, but my lawyer told me I wouldn't have a leg to stand on.

As they have to avoid it on the pitch as loads of cats roam cricket grounds and leave little deposits behind lol

it's better than shouting "ah sh*t" when the fielder drops it. And I aint seen many players with "Fine Legs" either

Also have heard them shouting "What ****" and saying "drop Tit" and "miss Tit". I think Tit must be the name of a player. They don t think much of Tit s playing so they re always shouting "What ****" when he does something bad. Then they decide they ve got to "drop Tit" from the team. But then when Tit s been dropped they start to "miss Tit".
