India to protest umpiring decisions..

[bnaick]

apparently all 11 players will bowl/field the first over on day 2 with blindfolds on

[Chandan]

This is not a matter to joke about, bnaick!

[PaiN_KiLLeR]

thats actually not a bad idea ....

[bnaick]

its a simple form of protest and the ICC can't do squat about it. Would be best if the Indians refuse to answer any questions about the "act" during their interaction with the media. Just leave it to their immaginations

[SachDan]

jokes apart,BCCI should make sure that Bucknor's days are counted atleast for those involving India

BCCI directs team to protest umpiring decisions The Cricket Board on Wednesday directed the Indian team management to lodge a protest with ICC [images] Match Referee Mike Procter against atrocious umpiring decisions made on the opening day of the second Test against Australia at Sydney. "We have asked our team management to lodge a protest to the ICC match referee against the wrong umpiring decisions made today by Steve Bucknor. The wrong decisions made by Bucknor have been commented upon by all cricketers and analysts alike," said BCCI vice president Rajiv Shukla. "I am sure the International Cricket Council will be monitoring the matter in Dubai and take appropriate actions," Shukla said. Australian batsman Andrew Symonds [images] was caught by MS Dhoni [images] off Ishant Sharma when on 30 but to the horror of the Indian team, Bucknor decided he was not out. Symonds went on to score an unbeaten 137 to spearhead a great recovery after the hosts were tottering at 134 for six at one stage. Symonds was also given another 'life' by third umpire Bruce Oxenford who ruled him not out when he was stumped by Dhoni off Anil Kumble [images] a little later. Earlier, Australian skipper Ricky Ponting [images] too was lucky to escape a caught behind appeal when on 17 before going on to complete a half century. Mark Benson was the umpire who did not uphold the confident appeal. http://ia.rediff.com/cricket/2008/jan/02bcci.htm Finally the asses get time for cricket.....

they did this token protest thingy last time also Remember ? heres how the things will progress between rocter and AK. AK : Umpiring Sucks Procter : Why what happened Anil (he even keeps a straight face) AK : Being the smart man and a techie he has come with relevant video footage PRocter : Ahhh that .... AK : Yeah that .. what now ? PRocter : Fill in this application in triplate and mail it to ICC and they will look into it. AK : Duly fills it out and hands it over. 2 Months Later (Next Series that too at Home) Bucknor decides to celebrate in style by mugging the Indian team royally.

:haha::haha:

He even had the gall to say it was due to bad light that he gave SRT out when there were few inches of gap between bat and ball, and after batsmen insisted on stopping the play due to bad lights and with fast bowlers operating.
