Cricket Controversies

Cricket is a religion in our country and it is very sad to see that this religion is being subjugated by some unscrupulous elements. Its not just once but the same so called “mistakes” have been repetitive in the same match against India. Blame the wrong umpiring or the umpire, the game is lost in the end. After looking at the injustice done to our country it’s high time that the ICC takes strict actions against the ones who are guilty. Not only this, but it should also stop Buckner from umpiring any match which is against India. This match should be a learning lesson for all the umpires as we are in an age where technology has boomed up rapidly; so it’s always wise to use it. The need to consult anybody on the field should not rise when the third umpire is always available. It’s pretty obvious that this will lead to biasness and will not come out with an unprejudiced action. Thus the third umpire must be made of use in times of doubts to avoid hurting the sentiments of cricket lovers; as one small scar in umpiring will build up permanent scratches between countries. Even if India decides to forgive and forget, the statistics can’t be changed and when we have a look at it 10 yrs down the line, we will only get to see a lost game.
