Buckner's umpiring is buckwas....Especially against the subcontinent teams.He takes an eternity to make a decision,and then he gets it wrong .It will be better to spin a coin to make a decision.Actually,the number of correct decisions will be more if we toss a coin then buckner's.

I think third umpire should correct the wrong decisions made by on field umpires. The umpires have walkie-talkie. One of the way is to call the on field umpires and tell them they have made the wrong decisions and the on field umpires should have the final say to correct the decisions. Another way to make correct decisions is that the on field umpires should watch the replay if they have any doubts and then should make decisions. I do not think if one minute or two minute is lost that matters than losing the match in watching replays or the third umpire telling on field umpire his decision is wrong.

well you are right man. the umpires have ruined our chances of leveling th series from day one. it all started with the caught behind decission that was not given to saurav for ricky poting and then it was symonds who was out thrice but was not given and that was the reson why he made 160+. well you know what, you give that much to sachin and he will make the score which austrlian team will make in one inns. but that was not to happen. even today dravid and ganguly were not out but were still declared out and if that was not given we would def, have not lost the match. leave alone draw the way ganguly was playing we could have won the match. but still draw was a fair result but that was not to be

I think he is a total failure. his wrong decisions and supporting Australia so much has cost India the match. The score line would have been something different. why is he here? he should leave at the earliest.

I totally share your sentiment! They should toss the coin and declare Australia the winner !! Or even better -Let those umpires come with a tag "come prepared to play against us when you are playing the Aussies" What a shame!! The umpires and the captain who says you should trust him despite what he does on field!

Hmmm yes it was bukwaas : ).... But kumble was the real hero of the second test .. He was helpless in the end .. No words to praise kumble .. Anyways we need to rectify these kind of blunders soon so that cricket can keep its gentleman's game further !!!!!
