Taufel in Utopia

Here is an excerpt from Cricketnext.com:

 

Does the thought of the stature of players or teams ever cross an umpires' mind?

 

Taufel: No, I try to treat all players and teams the same – as equals. The bowler is a bowler and a batsman is there with two pads on down the other end. Every decision in cricket is an important one regardless of what level you are umpiring and every player deserves your best effort on the day – from number 1 to number 11.

 

I doubt it. It is humanly impossible to negate it. The umpires should either be made of Teflon or they must be cocooned or otherwise they must be imbibing some mythical potion.

  

Is it me or do you notice a bit of 'delusion of grandeur'?
