I was responding to the specific post, not the original question. That's why I quoted the statement. My point was that it isn't always the umpire's fault that an inappropriate bat ends up getting used. While some umpires may not follow proper protocol, that certainly doesn't mean that teams aren't purposely concealing the bats and then using them.
