Yeah Bucknor had some kind of an issue with India. His umpiring in the 2008 BGT was pretty shocking too.
Ae vediya bat ka grip nikalke.
Legendary Sachin Tendulkar's social media post sparked a hilarious meme fest. Sachin shared a photo on X, showing him batting in front of three large trees. The trees' shape resembled cricket wickets, and the former cricketer humorously asked his fans which umpire made the stumps feel this big.
Maybe he is talking about this LBW.
Openly admitting
Such a pathetic decision. But I wouldn't say he had something against us or SRT in particular.
If the shoulder is in front of the stumps, it’s out.It straightaway reminds me of that famous shoulder before wicket delivery from Bucknor in 1999 Australia tour.
I don’t know - maybe the 4 bookmakers at his wedding was a bit of a giveaway. An article was posted about it and I’m assuming it got jeeted out.Lol he has played for 22 years and had one of the most controversy free career. This includes the time of match fixing when likes of Azhar, Jadeja, Mongia etc got caught but no one could put a shred of taint of Sachin. I know you will bring that cleaning the seam of the ball video but all Pak greats of yesteryears have made a career out of ball tampering
Sachin is always known as the most gentleman cricketer world has seen
Wasn't a complaint. That tree's shape definitely put that thought into his mind. So a sly dig. He very rarely even showed outrageous behavior after wrongly given out which happened a lot in the 90s. He hardly talked about it.
Swaroop kishen, P reporter, VK Ramaswamy.
Everything is exaggerated for Tendulkar, even the photo in the tweet has been brushed up just to make him look presentable and authentic.
He will go tumbling like other famous Indians before him once the fanfare dies down.
The secret is out now, we all know which side of Tendulkar's bread is buttered on.
I hope the old man receives protection after what Sachin has done here
Indeed. It is a renowned fact that Indian fans have resorted to vile and criminal threats in such cases.
He never needed protection even when he was active and Tendulkar was active. Tendulkar never even showed any dissent when he was given out. Have you never seen people complaining about biased refereeing in soccer and other sports?
How is it humiliation when the DRS was tampered with. On what earth was that not even Umpires call.Pakistan fans are still not forget that humiliation lose against india.
Bucknor.got protection, his career ended early.
He was just doing this job and this sort of public/social retribution is expected from a country that is governed by hate. (Which the world is now realising).
dont understand why he posted this tweet now because he was the one who took the benefit of doubt.
This is pure poetry bro!
He isn't. He was an excellent batsman. Greatest batsman ever don't get clunked on the head like he did by 83 mph bowlers like Jimmy Anderson
Lara got hit by Shoaib Akhtar.
Shoaib wasn’t bowling 83mph
I wouldn't even call Tendulkar excellent. Kambli was light years ahead of Tendulkar and we all know what Tendulkar did to Kambli.
True and AD. Both top players but couldn't play top fast bowling like you would expect ATGs to do. I am not going to denigrate either as they were both brilliant at times but if they played in an era of no helmets, they would have most likely averaged 45-48. Which is still excellent.
I disagree. I think he was and to think that he played under immense pressure also showed real character.
Nope. No need for research, it is clear as daylight. I mean, why more research after 22 years? Sachinstas themselves cannot list 2 memorable innings, and this says something. Go on, I will give you 2 - WC03 and Desertstorm.
Habitual losing always adds pressure.
Please do not waste my time. You keep going about knocks, but you cannot list them.
I am on a serious forum, I am responding in a thread courtesy of a Tendulkar tweet, which you claimed was not even directed to an umpire, let alone Bucknor. Who else then? Rhetorical question. Counter anything I have said. You cant even prove me wrong with 3 (even though I asked for 2) memorable innings of his.
Not delay tactic. lol I can come out with nice little spreadsheet. But only for a serious cricket fan i would waste my time doing such things. Not for guys like you. You are just a troll.
It certainly is a delay tactic.
You are definitely hurt. Else why would you continue to embarrass Tendulkar infront of a not so serious poster?
I am writing one or two lines. yOu have fileld this thread with paragraph after paragraph. So we know who is "hurt" here lol
Still here?
And what does that even mean? Tendulkar has smashed 100 mph fast bowlers like Akhtar and Lee at their prime, so getting occasionally hit by Anderson who at best is capable of swinging the ball miles becomes his in capability all of a sudden?
Another filter, this time just WCs.
I don't think pressure should be a factor. He was pampered by a loving fan base and given tremendous support by BCCI.
You are right, 10+ year drought for silverware because India buckled under the pressure in finals - this is what happens when you're pampered.
Back in the day Pakistanis were hung out to dry by the board and ex players
Letting him have is way, and then protecting him - all has backfired. Plus he got caught fabricating the facts with Monkeygate, Ball tampering, and the 90s fixing saga where somehow he was never present in the Indian dressing room so he could never bear witness.
