What a way to mark a 100! If ruling Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar out (when he wasn't) in front of an Eden Gardens crowd in an India-Pakistan match when the batsman was repeatedly appealing for bad light and hence nipping a most crucial innings in the bud will not get Mr. Bucknor to retire, what will? :-)

Completely exemplifies this umpire's career.

The blogs & the newspapers are going to buzz, and for once, well, I'm going to join the hunt...

When Rudi Koertzen provided the Indians and in particular Tendulkar with some unusual largesse in the first Test, I remember thinking that it was all necessary given the announced list of umpires for the next!
