Who are the worst umpires in world cricket? and why dont they use technology for god sakes??

Question

i say the worst umpires are:
1.billy bowden(silly billy...need i say more)
2.steve buknor(utterly hopeless)
3.rudi koertzen(makes very bad decisions)
4.ashoka de silva(dont think he even knows the LBW law)
5.billy doctrove(has no authority as an umpire)

best umpires:
1.aleem dar(great umpire..odd mistake here and there)
2.simon taufel(great umpire...few mistakes over the past few games)
3.darrel harper(pretty good)
4.mark benson(improving...i didnt like him b4...but now he is getting most decisions correct)

Why on earth arent they using technology such as hawkeye and snicko??? ppl say its not 100% accurate....well its more accurate than any umpire!!! i have seen mathces been decided by 1 poor decision!!! cricket needs to move into the 21century...all the other sports have ...only cricket is lagging behind!!! ICC is full of idiots!!! speed has no spine....he should step down...ponting has been given many chances over the past few months when he was clearly out!!BULLSH.IT

Answer 1

Which list would Hair come in?

Answer 2

yup....i do agree to an extent....steve buknor sucks big time... so does asoka de silva......simon taufel is the best and daryl harper aint bad either......apart from good umpiring what i like 'bout these 2 umpires is that they r very friendly to the players and hv got a comforting presense on field for them.....as opposed to sum1 like buknor...poor decisions and irritating presense!!

and u were very right in puttin' tht 1 poor decision could well cost a team the match... and it has,in the past!!!

ICC's stand to give field umpires their worth and respecting the "tradition" of the game so as not to use technology seems baseless to me......

either u can be fair to the game of cricket by using technology or keep respectin' d tradition....

and its not tht BAD decision's are rare or sumthin...u wud find them invariably in every match...its just tht dey are ignored and would come to the debate only if u find a big name or player attached with it....

Answer 3

u talk about use of technology but the first and last umpires dont seem to be there for bad umpiring descisions in which technology would have made a difference. therefore i agree with nos. 2-4. however i would have put daryl hair at the top. oops i forgot he is banned from umpiring in international matches :D. ok ill settle for de silva and rudi, its a tie

Answer 4

From your list, only Ashoka de Silva stands out as a really bad umpire

Answer 5

I semi-agree with this, but after i saw Billy Bowden at no.1 on the worst list i lost all respect for you and this question
