The Top Umpires of all time

Debris

International 12th Man
Is decision-making the only criteria here? Modern umpires are very good at getting decisions right but suck at game management. I want an umpire who will tell the fielding captain to faffing around and bowl a few overs.
 

Jacknife

International Captain
Think old Dickie's a bit overrated because he was such a loveable character. Knew where you stood with him, but he'd have to alter his LBW criteria nowadays.
If he was around now, he would have obviously moved with the times just like umpires of the last 10 years.
