Who's the best umpire...

[liquid_decoy_006]

Billy Bowden is the best!!!! He has different signals in the one-day arena than the test and they are better in the one-dayers!!

i voted for aleem dar under other :

 

[sachin]

never heard of him.

 

[601731]

again awrong decision by bucknor,he should be removed from the elite panel.

 

[nikhilverma]

i am really frustrated is bucknor old or he has developed some sort of enemity with the indians...

What a poor decision of not giving wides on two occasions

 

[pal]

He does hate Indians........

 

[squiz]

Have a cry two wides who gives a sh?t.

 

[lbw b Wasim]

Bowden is a champion umpire his unique charachter makes the umpiring alot more exciting to watch. He is spot on in umpiring except I did think Kumble had Martyn ( :blink: ) out lbw at the SCG in the Second Innings, in saying that he only had one view of it and I saw about 5 tv replays and some were slower than real time.

Other umps who i think are very reliable are Taufel and Venkat.

i'm with you squiz.bucknor is good.two wides wouldn't have won india the game.that's all that counts. :mellow: :huh:

 

[nikhilverma]

yeah but two correct lbw decisions by him, would have led to a possible victory of india in test series

That does count

 

[sachin]

hey dude indias got the gavaskar trophy,thats ALL that counts.bucknor didn't give the best descisioons but i think he is one of the best. :

 

[squiz]

exactly and good umpires have to miss a few once in a while

 

[nikhilverma]

may be i am wrong but i think that the way he dealt with parthiv patel was not fair
and with other indian players too

 

[601731]

he gave a wrong lbw decision in this game too.symonds was clearly out to pathan but jackass buckor did it again.
but even then i think india should have won they literally gifted the game to the aussies

 

[pal]

You are absolutely right!!!

That stupid dumbo bucknor
