Steve Bucknor has had a grudge against us for ages now! He slated us throuhgout the VB series and no whe's woking himself into the indo-pak series! What is his problem? It's like he has a personal grudge against India and after his appauling - biast decisions he has the nerve to say he was happy with his performance! The earlier his retirment comes the better it will be for cricket!
Where were you people by the way when umpiring standards were real down in the last match. Pakistan lost the last match due to umpiring. Our main batsman Inzamam ul Haq was wrongly given bat n pad on Kumble's bowling and then Yousuf Youhana was wrongly given out. Now, this time around I don't find any wrong umpiring any where. Where was it. Tendulkar if was not out then every body was. I think umpires are human and by naked eye Sachin was clearly out. About giving anyone not out like a tail ender of Pakistan. Gul was hit wicket the next bowl. Not greatly wrong decisions were made. Don't beat about the bushes

Excuse me, dear Pakistani, those were the only two decisions that went against you. What do you say to the five-six decisions that went against India in the second test? You people need a helping hand to win test matches against Inida, and you got lots of it from the umpire, so thank Bucknor, and don't be under the wrong impression that Pakistan is a good team.
im sandeep steve buknor is a very good umpier he had lots of experience he umpired more than 100odi and 89 tests but how can he donelike im not able to understand in his lots of expirence this is one bad mark i think he too old he is not able to work so he had to resign for his job because for his folt only india is lost the match india lost the match due to bad umpiring
wht i dont nderstand is tht doesnt the bcci have the right to make a note of this issues to icc and take a strong measure against him?and y r others lik simon toufel suporting him against india?lets pray this pari doesnt torture us for the fianl match
It is quite evident thet few lbw appeals which were turned down by steve buckner in pakistans 2nd evening put india under pressure on account of 200 plus lead.In the australian series and here also in Pakistan it seems Steve Buckner has a special liking to declare Sachin out leg before in quickest posssible time. Other wise in he doze over the decision and takes ages to raise his finger. I feel there is a need to consult third umpire in to doubt full cases and also for reconfirmation of ground umpiring decision.
Though there are several factors leading to the test defeat,it is unfortunre that poor umpiring is singled out by many Indian fans.We lost the match on the ist session on the 1st day itself.losing 4wickets before lunch was unpardonable.Barring Tenduikar dismissal, the others were out due to poor shotselection ,especially Lakshman.Dravid's run out(asif he was playing the end overs of an ODI.) Kumbles failure to take wickets of the tail-enders.In the second innings too Yuvaraj played a poor shot.
Lets talk about Mr. buckner first, he is realy anti-indian ,we dont know why but in Australia also he proved it and when Saurav Ganguly did say something about it he is now more than happy to do it again and again. It seems he dosent have any fear or shame to give wrong decisions again India. But somebody must do something about it. mistake can be done once or twice but everytime... ?????? then something is fisshy and some body should do something.
Mr. taufle did also miss the big vicket of yohana and for that parthiv did show some anger , so whats wrong , he should not be punished. as umpires were doing unjustice and that leads to his anger and misbehaver but the point is what made him to do that and umpire should be punished as they were doing wrong things.
Now Mr. Nadeem Gauri, the third umpire , who had all the facility in the world to see the reply of Kumble's vicket and decide the truth , even the pakistan's commentrator Mr. Ramiz raza was sure that kumble has benefit of doubt , but SOmehow Mr. Gauri was in hurry to give decision in against India.........that was not atall acceptable by anybody. thats called cheating or favourisum ...
Stop whinging about umpiring. We lost fair and square because of our inability to play consistently and professionally. A couple of bad decisions occurred in this game that went against us and a couple went against them last game. Yet, we are making a federal case against it. Damn it, we are like England - Champion Whingers. It is time, the Indian team stopped getting distracted and start winning the series.
