I cant recall the name of one umpire who is paakistani,For me he is the best umpire,

Its Aleem Dar Acctually.

He acctually looks a bit like tufiq umar.

He looks like Waqar Younis to me . Well for me the Best is Steve Bucknor.

And my favourite Umpires are:
Billy Bowden, Steve Bucknor, Aleem Dar, and Darly Happer.

Venkatraghavan of course .........

He is one of the worst umpires I've ever seen. Probably the worst on the elite umpire list.

Either he is a complete cheat and completely bias or a completely rubbish umpire.

I think u must have seen some australian umpire and definitely not venkatraghavan as venkat is a completely good,completely unbiased and completely superb umpire

I agree with James, he is a very poor umpire, easily the worst on the elite list.

Does that mean hes not???? :wacko: :sorry: :bow:

I'm so dissapointed. :bow:

Wht does that mean?????

 

[andrew_nixon]

You said Venkat was a superb umpire. I said "yeah... and Santa Claus is real"

I could also have said

• Elvis is alive
  
• Don Bradman was crap
  
• There are 15 players in a cricket team

All these things are obviously false..... as is the statement that Venkat is unbiased and superb.

Andrew and James, prove your point. Cite events.

 

[andrew_nixon]

Any match he has umpired that involves England. His decision are extremely inconsistent and often appears to give more bad decisions against England.

I've defiantely noticed it when he umpires England matches, and most of the time is us getting the bum end of his decisions.

But I've seen it in other matches aswell. He just makes terrible decisions. He isn't consistent. E.g. if he doesn't give batsmen out for one team in the 1st innings when the ball looks to be maybe high and maybe missing leg, then he does it in the next innings when the other team is batting.

He is just incredibly frustrating to watch, especially when it's your team being shafted by him!

But overall he just makes far too many terrible decisions to even be considered as an 'Elite' umpire.

I don't think so,can u quote any one match,pls read an article abt venkat

[andrew_nixon]

We can't give one example. cos he makes mistakes in almost every match, especially those involving England.
