Yep that was typical immature bully tactics from a country that wont even produce their own umpire, but just like to attack those with the courage to go and stand in a international game. Something Indian umpires clealy lack.
Bucknor was a very good umpire who started to fail at the end of his career. Considering that Indian cricket was comprised of two great players and a billion sooks until fairly recently, he probably had a subconcious bias against them.
see the clip in the OP.It wasnt towards the end of his career.The guy didn't even refer to the third umpire when others do it when they are even 90% sure
I agree with you though that he was a very good umpire.in non-Indian matches
