Its that kind of day. I was so excited switching the TV on and looking at a score of 134/6 and double checked to see if it was the Aussies batting or was it the Indians, for a pleasant surprise it was Aussies.
The smile on my face vanished after an hour with the turn of events - Symonds was clearly out caught behind and Steve Bucknor felt otherwise and as if it wasnt enough he was out Stumped, 3rd umpire dint think so - a clear LBW shout turned down....it was just Symonds day and looked like he wont get out today and he dint.
Its just a little too much of co-incidence in cricket that Australia gets a lot of benefit of doubt from the umpires - they are a great talented team but i would like to see how it turns out if an opposing team gets the kind of favour Aussie team gets. If this would have happened in the sub-continent Aussies would have been knocking the doors of ICC.

You are absolutely right. I am devastated with Bucknor's umpiring.
ICC should sack him
