Former ICC umpire Steve Bucknor, who was one of the top cricketing umpires in early 2000s, has admitted that he gave a couple of incorrect decisions which led to dismissal of Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar in two important matches.
Bucknor, who’s resenting both the human errors, revealed the two incidents during a recent radio interview. During a test match between India and Australia at Gabba in 2003, Steve raised his finger to indicate ‘OUT’ (LBW) even though bowler Jason Gillespie’s ball went above wickets.
Later in 2005, during a match between India and Pakistan at Eden Gardens, the Jamaican umpire had got it wrong again. When Sachin tried to edge a delivery by Abdul Razzaq, Steve got the call wrong. The replays have however showed it did not touch the bat.
The veteran Umpire who regrets both the errors said “I do not think any umpire would want to do a wrong thing. It lives with him and his future could be in deep trouble”.
