Vote for the best Umpire
- Thread starter Rangeela
- Start date
(no offence aussies 
)
1. David Shepherd (he is getting old and making a few mistakes though)
2. Simon Taufel
3. Rudi Koertzen
4. Venkat Raghavan
5. Billy Bowden
Bucknor is okay but he has some sort of grudge against the Indians.
My all time best (at least since I have been watching cricket since 1980)
1. Dickie Bird
2. David Shepherd
3. Pilu Reporter (india)
Worst
1. Asoka DeSilva
2. Darell Hair
3. Daryll Harper
4. And the umpire who almost gave jadeja out caught behind against SL only to scratch his head with his index finger. Man!! that was funny if anyone has seen it.

From what i've seen this summer of Englands tests, I would say Rudi Koertzen and Simon Taufel. Whether thats the case in the games I can't see I don't know!

I voted Simon Tauffel. He always gives good decisions.
hello,
i am suprised billy bowden has been leading in the poll if some one has been following him over his subcontinent tour schould surely know about what kind of decisons he gives in every match he makes some ridicolous mistakes like in asia cup final when sachin was plum L.B.W in 2 ocassions on the bowling of dilshan he gave them not out and in first test betwwen ind and aus he gave irfan pathan out caught when there was day light between bat and bowl and in the 2 innings he gave shewag out lbw when he had slamed the bowl in to the pads in every match he umpires he makes horrendous decisions .tell me what you want in cricket good umpiring or a joker .if a joker then you can arrange it for a lower cost for me simon taufell and rudi are the 2 best umpires and mr shepard who was the best umpire for a long time schould retire as he is getting too old and buckner and ashoka de silva surely hates indians for some reason.
