So if you don't believe that article that I posted why were you trying to use it to your advantage earlier ? I see you never answered that question. I wonder why. Perhaps desperately trying to wiggle ouut of the proper tangle that you find yourselves in .![]()
Because I quoted what Ganguly actually said. There is no scope for misinterpretation and misappropriation there. Those were the exact words that Ganguly said. How about the writer of that article and you bring me the 7 decisions that went against India though?
Curiously waiting for the "data" that would "conclusively prove" that Australia were always aided by umpires.
Do you really think ICC is in the business of investigating umpiring blunders?What kind of bakwas is this? Pretty soon you are going to ask why there wasnt a proper court case to decide based on "proper" evidence. Perhaps its too depressing to see your beloved aussies go down a notch ?
Until DRS came in the Umpires operated like Kings. Absolutely no checks and balances. All rules written or unwritten were in their favor. This is what led to DRS and ironically it was because of Bucknor that we now see a truly fair system (as Tech improves and people understand the futility of fighting against Tech it will totally be a merit based system something you like to crow about all the time ... talk about Irony)
Aww look at you trying to be cute. You know as well as me that Bucknor wasn't removed for his alleged incompetence nor for this alleged bias against the Indians.
India have had a win in their battle over the umpiring in Sydney, with Steve Bucknor sacked from officiating in next week's Perth Test and replaced by Billy Bowden. The BCCI later confirmed that they will continue the tour as planned
"What we've seen over the last week is a lot of criticism of umpiring decisions, a lot of ill feeling," Speed said at the MCG. "It's not unlike the situation the cricket world faced at The Oval in 2006. What we need to do is to alleviate some of the tension that is focused on this match and one way of doing that is to bring in a new umpiring team."

It is hilarious that you keep shoving in the narrative that Bucknor having a confirmed agenda against specifically the Indians is what got him fired, when in reality it was the BCCI which threatened to call off the entire tour if they didn't get their away and something was not done to alleviate their paranoia that Bucknor was conspiring against them.
This is like saying there is no racism in America because Barrack Obama was elected president twice lol. I never said all decisions made by Bucknor were against India. However Bucknor never even considered contesting his ignominious firing after SCG 2008 which tells me that BCCI were spot on to refuse playing against a gully level 3rd rate umpire.
Yeah, like you have a 100 wrong decisions lined up in every India match that Bucknor officiated to somehow "conclusively prove" with "data" that he specifically favored the Australians. But somehow a series altering plumb decision that favored India can't be counted as a conspiracy because reasons..
