Killer of the Game
January 7th, 2008Iam entering this post after great frustration. Any Indian cricket lover will definitely agree with me. Mr.Benson and Mr.Bucknor have proved that their ultimate aim of being an umpire is to serve Australia and not CRICKET. So many errors on a sigle test match which has proved costly for india and has helped Austalia to rewrite their records. When the players are bound by a code of conduct, why not something for the umpires? Why not cut a part of their salary for a wrong decision? Why not consult the third umpire when there is a dubious situation? EVEN THE THIRD UMPIRE WITH SO MUCH TECHNOLOGY AT HIS FINGERTIP MAKE SILLY ERRORS WHICH WERE CLEARLY VISIBLE AT SCG. A nation who has a passion for the game and one of the richest cricket boards, BCCI has to protest and try to bring about a change and the umpires must be made accountable for such careless decisions.
