Century of What???
by kunal nandan talgeri on Jan 10, 2007 11:40 AM

Is that a century or errors? Or a century of ODIs? Some of Bowden's errors have been the difference between victory and defeat. I can vividly remember, how his erroneous decision of Sehwag in India's second innings in the Bangalore Test cost India a Test match against Australia.

Where are the good umpires?

Billy is always busy with his gimmicks and funny signals but seldom with umpirng. He does not concentrate on 'no balls' at all and I have observed that the balls when many of his decisions giving a batsman 'out', were 'NO Balls'. Not a good umpire at all.

Dear rediff,
Umpires are making centuries,but not the Indian batsman, so u can imagine the future of Indian cricket.

I thought he is slightly better compared to all other new so called elite group umpires. Just imagine how bad the pakistani umpires and steve bucknor did against indians in the recent past.
Always the best was david shepherd.
