As I answered another question, it happens to all teams, the players ignore it so why can't the fans.He's no worse than any other umpire.

Any umpire can make a mistake, we all are human, i seriiously doubt Billy Bowden is supporting the Indians or any umpire today to be biased, it happens, maybe Billy thought since Kumble doesnt ball hardly any no-balls it not worth stretching your eyes every time Kumble runs in, lol, many wrogn decisions have been made by all unpires in the past, present & will be in the future, human nature, just got to get on with it and hope for the umpires to learn and become better from it, but somtimes no matter how hard an umpire tries, how good he/she is some decisions are just impossible to get right the first time, ah well at least it makes it intresting, lol, howwwww wassssss thatttt, lol.

Billy Bowden is famous! Just that! And mainly, nobody didn't because they couldn't! Look at the wicket of Yuvraj Singh on Day 2 of this 1st Test! Everyone saw it wasn't out! Still, the umpire gave it! The umpire can do anything to the game! And that's bad!!!

He is a good umpire and of course he is human. All humans
err and it is by nature. That does not make him good or bad.
Unfortunately there were few incidents in this Aus-Ind match
that did not deserve to be given out when it was not and the
other incidents which were out and was not given out.
This is part and parcel of the game and you take what ever the
umps give. It is easy to blame the umps for these decisions,
but it is hard for one to be standing long hours in the sun and
make instant decisions.
Instead of blaming the umps, Cricket needs to use the
technology that is available to them(Commentators use it).
But as players and fans we all have to accept it.
I do not believe he is parting with any side. Even a very good
ump like Dicky Bird also made gaffes and it is part and
parcel of the game.
I would suggest to those who complain, just watch the game
and have fun.

I think he is a good umpire.
I like him a lot. Umpires are under a lot of pressure. People don't understand that.
I think umpires have done a decent job in first test so far.

He is also a human to make mistakes.. Any good umpire will have some bad matches... acc to me simon taufel, rudi koertzen, aleem dar, billy bowden are best umpires at present...

i think that billy bowden isnt as experienced as billy doctrobve or simon tufool because he didnt only give wrong decesions to the austrailans but to the indians aswell which makes him an even worser umpire
