Dear Steve You are absolutely correct; you have taken umpiring standards to a new level. Nobody even in India will doubt about your umpiring capabilities. We would like to know only one thing, You have been 94% of the time perfect but could you please explain why most part of remaining 6 % was reserved for india and mostly for Sachin.
Buckonr gave all his decisions in favour of Aussies only recently in 2007 world cup the match stopped due to bad light insted postponing the match to resever day he did not do that. Even he gave sachin out when ball hit the helemt. so what about that. Even the ICC is in favour of Austrila only recently when Gambir hit Watson with his elbow Gambir has been suspended for a match saying physical contact is not allowed. In 1998 when Bajji showed hand to dressing room Pointing pushed Bajji with is chest at that time Bajji has been fined and no action taken aganist Pointing so what about that
He is the guy who gave sachin out as lbw when the ball hit his helmet! Who can call these as mistakes... I am sure he is in the payroll of these aussies, and it is good riddance to bad rubbish...

My Dear Friend, the ball didn't hit his Helmet, it struck on his Shoulder. Some one who is a Bowler in their real time and some one is who looks at Cricket as a Sports, Will Definitely Agree that was Good Decision. In fact I am a Grate Fan of Sachin, but still I would say it's Sachin mistake to Duge for that low bounce ball.
Sachin is victim of bad umpiring of Bucknor since Sharjah where against ausee two times in semi & final he gave bad decision against Sachin. and there after every series against ausee.
BCCI has committed hundreds of mistakes and blunders .Perhaps this is one which can be pardoned .Bucknor networking must be great otherwise one who is not fit to umpire in a club match has manages in a large number of tsts and ODI. The best was New Zealand press calling a goon a goon -perhaps one in many of BCCI.
Steve .. u r a great anti indian. after watching the sydney match anybody will tell about you. wat a great decision in favour of aussies. it steve was not there.. india would have acquired a famous test series victory against Oz even before SA.
can any one tell that how many centuries ricky ponting has scored when bucknor was the umpire. ponting is one player who is a fit case of lbw each ball he plays, but thanks to bucknor he was never given out. may be cricket australia like BCCI also has a good hold on bucknor

I appreciate you my dear friend, at least one guy in the world accepts that BCCI is ruling his money power over ICC and even against to World Cricket.

shan, i think anyone who dissagrees that bcci is ruling cricket needs to get his head examined..its only logical since we contribute and generate(by a huge margin) more money than any other country in the world....
Please go and watch the highlights of the Sydney test. Its good that you realized what BCCI can do. Its a message to all umpires and officials conspiring against "Team India".
This kucfing umpire is a blind white-skin supporter. He has given a lot of wrong lbw decisions against Sachin. He thought the then cricketing empire Australia can save or extend his career, and favoured them a lot. Now, you please rest in peace!
