Simon Taufel, Aleem Dar any day for me(its only my personal opinion,some of you may not prefer aleem dar)
gee there ain't many good umpires these days to choose from(at least in international arena)

One question to seamer,How good is Peter Parker(Oz)?(i seen few odi officiated by him ,most of the time decisions were pretty accurate by this big guy-no pun intended)

Those guys are younger and probably better than the rest, but even they are not infalliable and with so much cricket being played these days right under the spotlight, every single umpire is going to be shown to have made errors. I do not believe that any of them, including the much criticised Steve Bucknor against India, do it on purpose. They jsu are unable to cope. As I have said many times, it is virtually impossible for the umpires on the field to do a perfect job, no matter how hard they try. In fact, concentrating too much can increase pressure and make matters worse. Unfortunately, cricket is the sort of a game where a single bad decision can easily turn a match, let alone several like at the SCG in the one that just concluded. This talk about "everything evening out over a period of time" is total, unadultrated nonsense that might sound nice and patronising, but is utterly meaningless as far as cricket is concernes. You either play it properly, or not at all.

completely agreed nostromo
hope at least next game at perth will have less controversial decisions
