The two Carlos(es) smile at them too, Veglia - Bernardes and Ramos.
Carlos Ramos even winked at Rafa when he just missed hitting him with the ball! Watch @ 00:41.

(That would've been my first guess though.)

maybe thats too silly ... :)

Smile is a definite.
I would say- Smile and acknowledges each player according to how they feel.
When ever there is a bad call,even the hawk eye goes the other way he looks at the player in a way that even he couldn't believe it.

Mohammed does smile, but maybe speaks to them in their language?

listens
Posted by: nipurn | 06/22/2011 at 11:27 PM
like you above I would say "smiles" but I would think the answer is too easy, knowing TP.
Posted by: ricky | 06/23/2011 at 01:20 AM
because he is the ONLY umpire who calls the players by their first name.

Posted by: Lobbo | 06/23/2011 at 08:16 AM
Smiles is the obvious answer....too easy though TP. I'll say jokes around, laughs with them.
