Hi Ho All, The news last night hinted at India picking Sehwag, so hopefully that is the case. Whatever changes they do make, hopefully they don't panic and...
One can have all the batting and bowling resources but if the umpiring gets so heavily biased to the extent even the 3rd umpire rules in favour of the home...
Hi Ho All, I wouldn't say biased, just plain bad. Although with me it's not an issue as such. I come from the school of walking and so Symmonds is far more at...
i dont think its bias, i agree just terrible. You must have seen ponting given out LBW? he almost hit that thing for 4!!! but thats cricket, he was out earlier...
Symonds was lucky even on day 2 when bucknor refused to take the third umpire :-) Can anyone explain how bucknor has managed to stay on the panel despite being...
Bucknor has become one of the not so good umpires in the elite panel .. its not only this match he has made blunders. Such decisions are coming in far too...
Well batted Matty, another cracker! Some spanking forward drives straight and through the covers. Silly shot to get out on, but 123 is more than good I say. ...
With a incompetent fellow like Bucknor standing i dont blame the players for hanging on by even a thread :-) 213 ahead then with 98 overs to go...i guess...
I was surprised Symmonds survived the hattrick ball ... despite hawkeye, I would have given him; bats are for a reason. And Hussey was as plumb as early on....
Its surprising you expected Bucknor to give anything to India? :-) ... -- Saurabh Malhotra I`m on Facebook : saurabhmalhotra@... I`m on MSN Messenger :...
Not only have the umpires continued at work of giving bad decisions against India but even the aussies have lost the last bit of sportsmanship in the game...
Hi Ho All, Firstly, congrats to Australia. 16 tests in a row and some wonderful batting by Hayden, Hussey and Hogg. I also enjoyed Stuart Clark's bowling; for...
Cricket lost the gentlemen spirit way back ... so i no longer agree with it ... its a competitive world now and players too are human like us .. and will try...
Technology has to be used as much as possible in these times...yes even that is now 100% perfect but atleast the percentage of bad decisions would reduce a...
sorry Saurabh i posted my original 2 u by mistake.... anyway try and remember what i posted... now i wasn't gunna reply due to another issue.. but i thought i...
Harbhajan hit with three-match ban Siddhartha Vaidyanathan at the SCG January 6, 2008 Harbhajan Singh has been banned for three Tests for a racial slur against...
I can't comment too heavily on this match because I watched it remotely, but it does seem extraordinary that an Umpire should ask a player whether a ball is...
riff so was i.... it goes back 2 a decision that i had 2 make the guy was trustworthy he said he caught it i didn't c it at square leg and the main umpires was...
I thought he was but that's not the point... I suspect that this is gonna get worse and the shit'll hit the fan big time. The last time the Indians requested...
yer so did i so really i think this thing has been taken out how is calling someone a monkey gets u 3 matches...... or was more said!!!! i wonder.........
so with no really good umpires where does this leave cricket....... i fear going backwards or maybe they just have a remote umpire and on appeal it refers to...
My guess is the whole story isnt' being reported. I think there's a big difference between calling somebody a monkey or calling somebody on their ethnic...

To be fair to Hair .. i think ICC needs to ban Bucknor as well ... I think ICC needs to come strict on umpires as well now .. ... -- Bilal Ahmed Systems...
haha true. to be fair to Bucknor it wasn't so very long he was winning many awards for being the best ump in the business and I guess if a batsman or bowler...
I noticed in Sth. Africa last test, that the umpire at square leg was requested to stand in line with the stumps and not the crease so as to give the camera a...
The funny thing is umpires never heard him saying a foul word against Symonds..the sound and video piece doesn`t suggest anything either and yet Procter...
