all this talk of Bucknor is totally correct. BUt lets not forget about the travesty committed by the other umpire - Benson. How can he ask an opposing captain for his opinion for a decision?? The captains could have had any pre-match agreement, but the umpires can not be bound by this - this is match fixing actually! I mean if the captains agree that one team will win the next match, should the umpires have to agree and tag along?? Both Ponting and Benson need to be also banned. Actually, Symonds should also be stripped off his man of the match award for blatantly admitting that he knew he was out, but didnot walk "because heck, the umpire could get it wrong"!!! I mean holy crap! if that is not in the spirit of game, then i dont know what is!!
