Who's the worst umpire on the ICC elite panel?

[Shane Warne]

Darryl Harper.

 

[steds]

Sorry. Wrong Darryl

 

[Shane Warne]

I remember he kept giving Giles wickets in Sri Lanka.

He got about 5 in the innings and 4 of them should have been not out.

It was ricockulous.

 

[aussie]

we talking about the worst umpire presently or the worst u have ever seen on the panel????

 

[Shane Warne]

My aim was presently.

But feel free to offer both.

 

[aussie]

well presnetly i am not sure, if asoka desila is still on the paneli'd say him. But the worst ever is another sri lankan in B.C.Cooray all english fans will remember his horrible decision when england were their in 2001

 

[twctopcat]

Tiffin was pretty bad for a while though don't know if he is still on the elite panel.

But the worst ever is another sri lankan in B.C.Cooray all english fans will remember his horrible decision when england were their in 2001

What was it?

To be fair, he made alot of bad decisions out there, fairly evenly spread between the teams

smaller than i thought it was, Tiffin and Asoka were the worst when they were on it no i would say that they are all pretty good umpires

 

[aussie]

What was it?

well i should add peter manuel in the 1st test off that series he gave stewart out LBW off Jayasuriya to a ball that pitch way outside leg when himself & Tres were batting well & then lead to a slide in the england batting line-up.

With Cooray now his decison were againts ENG & SRI, he gave Jayasuriya out caught at slip off Caddick of a ball that sanath said was a bump ball & for england i remember stewart being caught in close of Murali & blind cooray gave him not out & White was out plumb LBW also off murali & was given not out........

How Asoka ever got onto the panel I will never know.

 

[Pratters]

Bucknor has been poor a lot of what I have seen of him in the past two years. Among the elite atm, he looks worst based on that.

Over his career, though, Bucknor has been excellent.

neither will i...........

yea i think Bucknor should follow shep now & retire

 

[Simon]

Bowden is the worst, hes strange and brings something different to the game, but as far as making decisions go he just gets it wrong too often for my liking...

Out of that list, I'd say the worst are Bowden ande Bucknor. The rest are dependable, and I think Aleem Dar is the best right now.

except he is not in the elite panel any more.

Bucknor is getting past it now IMO. Also, Hair makes some totally erroneous decisions. I wonder sometimes if he's paid off or something.
