That is very suggestive. Bucknor has been giving very poor decisions against India. We will never know whether he is biased or not and he should get the benefit of doubt for that. But that does not change the fact that there has been an unusually high number of blunders he has made against India. After this match, I think he should retire.

Bucknor - India is the new Hair - Pakistan

Pathetic whining from the countries on the receiving end of the bad decisions if you ask me but there you go.

If I remember right, English supporters, more than anyone else, invented the subtle art of whining at bad (and some not so bad) umpiring decisions - and just about everything else.
