I feel very sorry that ICC Umpiring panel is nothing but mockery. No one will deny that the 2nd test match at SCG between Australia & India was in actual sense being played between India and two most biased living creatures bucknor & benson. The two umpires have laid down the whole cricket fraternity and have ensured that watching test cricket is worthless and all spectators thoughout the world are fools. To quote simply, they have left a black mark in cricket history. Though, this is not first instance, that Indian cricketers have been penalized due to wrong umpiring, but this one has crossed all limits.
If players, are charged, sued for anything they do on field and off-field, why not umpires..?? If they are God and whatever they decide is ultimate..I feel the game of cricket should not be played again..it will be better to remember it in history. I don't want to say too much, because, we all know that many of highly reputed umpires have not left any stone unturned to penalize Indian cricket. I just want to appeal..that Indian cricketers, authorities, and everyone around the world who loves cricket..should oppose this in whatever way they can.and.protect the cricket world from perishing.I swear, had umpiring been fair, Sachin would have crossed 50 centuries by this time this is just an example. I want to appeal to Bucknor, Benson, Hair, etc if they want to follow their conscience they should immediately apolozige and retire from umpiring.ICC should inquire & punish guilty
