He was certainly due.

It must be hard fitting it in with all his acting commitments, I seen him in Evan Almighty last week on Fox.

He's been a good umpire the big fella. Made a couple of blunders of late, but who hasn't?

[Q.]

Don't blame him really, what after being made the sacrificial lamb during India's tour here.

i agree, has never been the same after the way he was treated by the ICC and BCCI after the indian tour of australia. i think it knocked his confidence and he never rocovered any of it, similar to symonds, who is still struggling to get over that tour

I dont think that the Indian tour can be blamed for Symonds bad form, bit of a cop out IMO.

I think you both make reasonable points. I was always happy to have Bucknor umpiring Australian Tests for many years, he was one of the best, and I think the Indian series took its toll on many people.
