Another mechanic used by "thousands" of umpires- well, maybe not "thousands", since I haven't personally observed "thousands" doing it, and doubt that you have either- is to announce the location of the pitch, as in "too high", "outside" or, my favorite, "deep".

Since I've seen a lot of umpires do this, does that make it the right thing to do?

If I decide to start using that mechanic in my games, because I feel that it adds something for the participants, does that make it a proper mechanic?

Is this mechanic any more right or wrong than using a non-standard signal to describe the location of the pitch?
