I fully agree with Mr. Sardesai's opinion. Steve Bucknor is useless and it is high time he is removed from the ICC panel. He cannot be allowed to go on harassing the indian team with his wayward behaviour.
There is only one person who can decide the fate of an Indian team playing cricket... obviously it is Steve. I really wonder why ICC is sleeping. Forget ICC whats wrong with BCCI? They should strongly condemn Steve Buckner. Moreover, Buckner is on the ELITE PANNEL OF ICC umpires. This is the height of stupidness.
Just today, I posted a feedback on the ICC official website. I know there wont be any response. But atleast a small step to show some revolt.
I strongly agree with Mr.Sardesai. To be frank and honest, all who know cricket and watch cricket will opine the same as Mr.Sardesai opined. There are quintals of witnesses for this opinion. Especially for Ganguly who had been given out lot of times(mainly LBWs). ICC!!!! Please come up with an Electronic judgement system for "Caught Behinds" and for "LBWs".
i dont agree with mr.sardesai that pakistani bowlers will not be able to dismiss indian lineup in test series. india has the longest tail in the world and five down is as good as all out.
Steve Bucknor used to be the best in the business, but "used to be" is the operative phrase here...After his performance inthe recent india tour to the land of the Oz it appears that he seems to have made up his mind not to give LBWs .Maybe today he is unable to decide,but if he cant do the job, he should bow out gracefully rather than ruin all the good work he has put in to date...

I agree, Steve Bucknor is one of the best umpire the world has ever seen. So, being the human he made mistakes and all the armchair umpires with the benefit of a thousand replays are so unappreciative. Go back and look at the man's record! However, if he is making obvious mistakes then there is a case for him to throw in the towel but that gives Indians no right to be unkind.
