Steve Bucknor should RETIRE now

2008-01-02T03:05:00.000-08:00

SCG Test ( India- Australia test 2, Day 1) - 02 January 2008

It has happened again and again from the same person.

Why is that it is the same person who has been helping in Team india's downfall against Australia.

By now, you should have all figured out who I am talking about.

It's none other that Windies born, considering himself Aussie, Umpire Steve Bucknor.

Steve Bucknor doesn't seem to like the Indians, which has become a well known truth among the cricketing world.

He has always given the decisions against Indians and in favour of Aussies. I don't understand what is wrong with this man. I guess he seems to consider himself as an Aussie. Aussies always play with 12 players in the game and always get the benefits from the umpiring decisions from people like Steve Bucknor

I still remember the last test I went to watch at the Sydney Cricket Ground(SCG) between India & Australia in 2003, Steve Bucknor denied us a win against Steve Waugh's team in his last test with the wrong decisions by not giving out the Aussie players.

He has been doing the same thing again at SCG in the 2nd Test between India- Australia( Currently being played - 2nd Jan- 6th Jan '08). Australia were 130/6 in the first Innings and Andrew Symonds was out on 30 caught off Ishant Sharma with a big nick. Steve Bucknor didn't give Andrew Symonds out and Symonds went on to score 132 notout on the first day of the test. Even Symonds said after the end of the day's play that he was lucky to get not out on 30 by Bucknor and he also said that people make mistakes, but why is it the same people making the same mistake again by giving decisions against th indians. I bet you, he will give Sachin Tendulkar LBW again on shoulders in one of the innings.

I think this man should retire from International cricket Umpiring.

Cheers
