Where is the umpire?

It was a cricket match between west indies and india at jamaica. Brian lara and Ramnaresh sarwan were batting. While attempting a quick single, there was a mix up and suresh raina, the fielder threw down the stumps at laras end and all the indian fielders turned to umpire Billy doctrove at square leg to appeal, only to find there was no billy doctrove at all. Doctrove was nowhere to be seen in the field. Seconds later Doctrove came ambling into the field unaware of what all the pandemonium was about. The other umpire Asad rauf, not knowing how to proceed, ruled that a dead ball. Luckily for Doctrove, replays confirmed that Lara had made his ground before the ball hit the stumps.
