-
Suspend Play immediatily
-
Continue to play to see if the conditions improve.
-
Tell the captains that you will discuss the conditions with them in another few minutes.
-
Convince captains to stop the game.
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
The correct answer is to suspend play immediately. When both umpires agree that the conditions have become dangerous, it is their responsibility to prioritize the safety of the players. Continuing to play in poor weather conditions can increase the risk of accidents and injuries. Therefore, suspending play immediately is the most appropriate course of action in this situation.
