Bucknor was part of that whole World Cup final farce too. Coming back and playing out the match tomorrow, what was that all about?

He has been past it for a while.

De Silva is a ******, plain and simple. I like Billy, Aleem Dar, and of course Taufel.

It's not only because of the Sydney test that I voted for Bucknor. I just haven't seen that many matches with Ashoka in them. I've seen far more matches with Bucknor umpiring. You're probably trying to insinuate we're all cry babies and that we're all ganging up on Bucknor because of one bad test but that's not right.

I actually thought Bucknor did a very good job.

All I've done was point out a very interesting spread, how would you explain the trend?

Lol, sorry if you weren't trying to say that but you can't blame me, it's what we're blamed for every other post.

I would just say I've seen a lot more of Bucknor and I've seen him make more mistakes than Ashoka De Silva. Ashoka De Silva, I admit, wasn't very impressive in Australia just now but I've seen Bucknor make far more mistakes and his downfall started around 2004, around the time Australia was touring India. He was a decent umpire before this but you can't run away from our age forever.

I'd be rather free to vote if this was about "Who's the better umpire?" :S..

I thought you were joking mate, look up the Ind vs Aus game from the 2nd - 6th of Jan last year, you'll probably find some news results somewhere...
