I went for Bucknor, for the time he takes to make LBW decisions. I like the way he thinks about the delivery and keeps everyone on tenterhooks.

Bucknor

I am going with Bucknor, he is a great ump. He makes good calls nice person . But no umpire is perfect edmit that everyone makes mistakes.

Bucknor has been the best for a long time, but recently Taufel has taken the mantle. I still love Steve's little nod before he raises the finger, and his appearance of being half-asleep all the time!

Bouden and Bucknor are my favourites, Bouden edges it though.

I think Taufel is generally most accurate with his decisions. Bucknor? I think he's made some very poor decisions recently - he's given a few batsmen out lbw when they've virtually middled in from the bat, onto their pad about 12 inches away (sorry, I can't remember the batsmen involved). However, he is great for the little nod before giving a batsman out. Billy Bowden brings a bit of enjoyable eccentricity to the arena.
