if bucknor is found during his review to be not up to scratch that's one thing but if you start sacking umps when one team gets a few calls they don't like then it's out of control

To be fair to the Indians, Bucknor has been giving crap decisions against them for many years now, so it's hardly a case of "a few calls."

He gives crap decisions against everybody.

I remember him being Atherton's nemesis yonks ago. Seems like a nice guy though.

I think the repercussions are going reverberate around here and the ICC for quite sometime.

And the only international umpire from India who was on the elite panel was Venkatraghvan. I think Darrel Hair played a bit of international cricket as well.

So the theory emerges that good umpires are clearly demarcated into two categories. Either you are a budding genius or else you played international cricket.

Bucky's analysis of Darrell Hair's international playing career is anxiously awaited.
