Mr. Wicket Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 Well, as bad as this is, who are the alternatives? Koertzen? Aleem 'Played like a fiddle' Dar? Doctrove? Ian 'That's not LBW, it's just hitting middle stump, Kumble!' Howell? Ashocka de Silva? Sad to say, but umpiring standards in world cricket are horribly low. Link to comment
The Outsider Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 Actually, Benson is pretty good and hopefully he will have some positive influence on the morons he is umpiring with. Link to comment

observer1 Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 well, at least you havent got darryl harper. benson can be a bit trigger-happy with lbws for fast bowlers - i expect a couple of decisions from him when replays will show the ball going OVER the stumps. Link to comment
The Outsider Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 Observer, not just for fast bowlers, he gives leg befores primarily on line so I expect Kumble to benefit from it as well no matter how far the batsman has stretched forward. Given, Taufell's recent blunders I would rate him as the best in business. Link to comment

zubinpepsi Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 This is the dangerous combo.. 16-20 Jan – Australia v India (Test), Perth – Steve Bucknor and Asad Rauf and adding to tht its perth.. Link to comment

Chandan Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 This is the dangerous combo.. and adding to tht its perth.. Rauf is one of the poorest umpires I've ever seen. Be ready for real howlers!! Link to comment
Mr. Wicket Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 Rauf may end up looking impeccable... when he's standing alongside Bukhnaaar. Link to comment
Ram Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 I dont care. All i know is we are there to play some competitive cricket. Link to comment
