Yeah, I luv it when Bucknor makes that face with the tongue licking the upper lick and doing a swallow as if he has no teeth in his mouth BEFORE giving Tendulkar out. He is shoooo cute.

Re: Umpires for Pak/Ind Series

Without the use of modern Technology (which by the way is freely available) no Umpire is going to be 100% accurate 100% of the time, for you today its Hair for me today its Bucknor, who knows tomorrow the tides may turn around and your favourite may be my foe and vice versa.

So just clamp it and learn to live with it.

From now anyone crying about the umpiring will be awarded 10 warning points:cb:

Re: Umpires for Pak/Ind Series

Is this the same guy who was once known as Steve ‘Roshni-kar’ Bucknor?

Re: Umpires for Pak/Ind Series

I believe no umpires in the elite panel are biased. In my opinion, they are perceived as such because they just happened to give more number of wrong decisions against a particular country or player than against others(but I am convinced it was not done on purpose).

In my opinion, "presumed biased" umpires like Bucknor and Hair may actually do good rather than bad to the team or the player they are suppsed to be biased against. This is because they will be extra-cautious in giving decisions against them henceforth in order to prove their impartiality.

Re: Umpires for Pak/Ind Series

^ I don't think they will be "extra-cautious" at all, esp in case of Hair as no case has been actually filed by Pakistan against him.
