Can we get some new umpires?

[freddiw]

onto all the umpire chat does anyone know what sort of qualification you need to become a test or county/state umpire

Basically, it was just Human Error.

You think we`d be complaing for so long if if was just a couple of errors.
There were about a dozen that went against us.

Heres my pick. Remind me if i have missed some good umpires.
*Aleem Dar
*Rudi Koertzen
*Simon Taufel
*Asad Rauf
*Billy Bowden
*Russel Tiffin
*Daryl Harper

The New Elite Panel :
*Aleem Dar
*Rudi Koertzen
*Simon Taufel
*Asad Rauf
*Billy Doctrove
*Darrell Hair
*Daryl Harper

*K Hariharan
*Nigel Llong
*Asoka De Silva


Why was Asoka De Silva thrown out ?
Why not Bucknor,Bowden and Benson ?

Is this what you think it should be or what it is?

 

[svijay]

So exactly how much should Bucknor be charged?

He let Symonds off at 30, but the third umpire should have given him out at 48 anyway. He let Symonds off again at 148 and allowed him to add 14 more to his tally. Bucknor also gave Dravid out in the second innings, caught off the pad. It is meaningless to pretend that this didn't have an effect on the outcome, but we are talking about a five-day match that went down to the wire.

Everything else was Benson. I know Bucknor is getting old, but the media are really barking up the (lesser) wrong tree. They are more forgiving of Benson because he also made a bunch of mistakes in India's favour. But look, if you make three umpiring mistakes, at least two of them are going to go against the same side. (Pigeonhole principle) It just happened to be 3-0, and Bucknor's past history didn't help one bit. But Benson was far worse as an umpire in this Test, in my opinion. It may be in the interest of BCCI to do something about Bucknor, but it is in the interest of cricket to do something about Benson.

Maybe there are other calls that I missed. If there are any important ones, I'd like to know.

lets go the EU way ICC, if more then 1 country vote for some umpire not to be played then he does not.

Darrell Hair
-SRi Lanka

Is this what you think it should be or what it is?

Yes,that is how I would like it to be.

I would agree with Indian people here on bad umpiring, because guys, so many bad decisions in one test match tells you something is not right!

however, I dont hate those umpires,

 

[Gunner786]

the umpiring in the ipl hasnt been much to shout about either
especially by that old timer rudi

 

[icyman]

I see,that Bucknor has been ignored by the IPL.

 

[Pakistan_Jindab]

The old guys are called again and again so looks no chance for youth umpires.

 

[Gilly Fan]

Why has Bucknor still got his job? Obviously he struggles with his eyesight, because we wears glasses.

 

[icyman]

I was happy to see Russel Tiffin after a long time.

 

[SciD]

I think all players who dont have chance of playing should apply for umpiring. This way they will be more famous. Look hows life changed for Asad Rauf.
