3 lbws for Pak...Wt the

Hannan, Javed, Sanwar all went leg before. Our batsmen were really unlucky. Wts up with the rubbish Bucknor man. Pak was lucky to get all these 3 LBWs. This shows our batting has terribly imroved. Lets hope for a good batting show tonight. Best of Luck to Bashar for his century, hope he makes it, Inshallah. Saleh at the least desereves a 50 for taking us all the way up here. For his 27 he played 92 balls, real test player is born in Bangladesh. Pak would have suffered if Javed was still there, it would have take them days :P to take his wicket, he was determined for a good batting but was unlucky indeed.

Also, cricinfo said we got turned on a couple of plumb lbw's in the morning. Yet we still managed to get them out for under 350. Truly a great performance against the odds.

Rubbish Bucknor man? Bucknor has been the best cricket umpire since early nineties.

Bucknor used to be good but now he is old and sucks bad. I have seen his umpiring against us, and he turned down many 100% LBW, while giving other LBW against us. He believes we are minnows and can't LBW against good teams, while anyone against us with a big shout is a definite LBW! What crap!

Eh.. you sure can read Bucknor's mind. I wish I had that sort of psychic power. Could have scored with a lot of hot chicks.

Mind reading is not necessary. Just watch him umpiring when BD plays. You will know what I mean. I used to believe Bucknor is one of the world's best, but time and again he proved me wrong. Now I lost all confidence in this guy. Hopeless.

I don't know how Bucknor umpires against Bangladesh specifically, but he is still a great umpire. Him and Shep umpired in the World Cup Final and this year it was merit based. The ICC judged the performance of all the umpires and Bucknor, Shep, Rudolph and Bowden were the top 4. These are the guys who umpired in the final.

Hey guys....dont get mad on bucknor

The LBW's of 3 Bd batsman were given by the Srilankan Umpire not bucknor

BTW .....he didnt gave two clear LBW appeal by rafique in the Pak inns.

he also did not response to some good calls of Shoaib Akhtar too..

So we shouldnt blame him.

Don't tell me that sl umpire is as good as AssJoker Silva!

Sometimes I guess it works in umpires minds. Giving a bad decision against hannan sarkar will not raise any hue and cry as it would be against one Lara or Tendy. So they might get more trigger happy with minnows..unfortunately!
