After seeing yesterdays match at Sydney, I think there are certain rules that ICC should immediately incorporate in its rules book
- Ricky Pointing(The most honest cricketer of his era, do not question his integrity) to be considered as the fourth umpire in all the matches involving Australia. Whatever he decides should be considered as last decision. If you fail to accept it, you may be charged by a 3 match ban.
- When the Australian team is bowling, if the ball flies anywhere near the Australian fielder the batsman is to be considered out. In case of disputes umpires can consult Ricky Pointing.
- While batting Australian players will wait for the umpire’s decision even if they have edged the ball to first slip. Each Australian batsman will have to out four times (minimum) before he returns to the pavilion. And if the player has lot of integrity the number can go as high as umpires feels fair enough.
- If a Australian player gets a century, a extra check of the $10000 will be awarded to the umpires for every wrong decision that has helped the player to get to his century.
Buy the way, I was really disappointed when Andrew Symonds was announced as the man of the match. I thought the right person for the trophy was either Steve Bucknor or Mark Benson.
Symonds you should have shared that prize money with the two umpires. If they were not there you wouldn’t have scored a 50 also. This kind of gesture does not suit players like you who have so much of integrity.

Subtle satire to human nature….the negative vibe that these matches spread reflect in the sardonic post Anirudh has made.
I wish Steve Buckner or Mark Benson read the whole thing. They would be proud of their accomplishment. Kudos Anirudh…you have mastered the language.
Kinkini, Kudos Anirudh…you have mastered the language.>> thanks
Yes Ani you are right. ICC should change the rules of Cricket. It is very true that Ricky Ponting is the most honest cricketer in the world. No doubt about that.
I want to give two kicks in the back side of Bucknor and Benson. Can any one bring them in front of me.
Anirudh, one point to add…No batsman can oppose slangs thrown by Aussie fielders…you will be banned for 3 test matches if you break this rule.
They should be ashamed. This things are never expected from the world champions. We saw worst umpiring by Steve Bucknor and Mark Benson. I saw in news that 80% of people have voted against Steve Bucknor. I think those messages should reach them asap.
I think some rules should be changed now. But where people take some time to adjust to new rules, I don’t think the Australian team will take any time to follow the new rules; they’ll be quite comfortable as they are the ones who’ve showed the new way
Umpire Vs Vampire
Steve Bucknor (Slow Death!!)
…thinks a lot before coming to the decision. Its clear to the world what the hell his mind is busy calculating
