Steve Bucknor has shrugged off criticism of his umpiring during the drawn first Test between Australia and India in Brisbane.
He controversially upheld an lbw appeal against Sachin Tendulkar during India's first innings and other decisions were also queried after the match.
"If he was an Australian citizen, one hell of a diplomatic row would be under way following his astonishing leg before verdict against Sachin Tendulkar."
