Bucknor's love for Sachin

Steve "old" Bucknor has done it again. His love for Sachin Tendular continues. I think he will hold the record for highest number of mis-judgments against Sachin.

During the last test match, when Sachin's catch at silly point was turned down, there was a debate as to whether he should have walked or not? I gave a firm NO.

For my reply, i got stick from many of my friends on various issues like morality, ethics and what not.....

What happened today was there for everyone to see. Sachin was given out caught behind by an errant umpiring decision. Now i wonder what those people who spoke of ethics and morality and self-judgement have to speak...

One day you are not given out, when you know it was clearly out. Other day you are given out for nothing. Thats how the game is, marked with such stray incidents. Thats why i said, sachin should utilise certain decisions to his favour when it is offered, which is snatched at some other instance....

As i had already said before....it all gets evened out at the end...
