SriLanka and Pakistan have openly stated that they will not play in any game if Darrel Hair is the umpire. Why can't India too take a stand and be brave and say that we will not play in any game if it is umpired by Bucknor or Benson. When will India stop being emotional? When will India learn to attack from the front? When will India stop and say "That's it; you can't take us for a ride anymore"? When will India call the shots? The BCCI is a very powerful body and can make a difference to world cricket.
I want to ask every proud Indian this question. If Australia were playing against New Zealand or England and if there was an Indian neutral umpire and if these mistakes had to happen by the Indian umpire against the Australians, do you think the Australian players and their cricket board would have stayed silent on the matter? I am sure they would have taken a stand and said that they would not play if this umpire were to officiate again.
So in the same manner I request our fellow Indian people and the Board to boycott Bucknor and Benson in any match from now on.

that is because they (pcb and slcb) dont have rajiv shukla or sharad pawar in their ranks.
