I don't want it decided by another of his errors.
Why is this old man still getting the big games anyway?

Thing is that's probably true.Koertzen > most other Umpires in The World..

Overall, Taufell is so far ahead of the pack that it's not funny. The rest are pretty much of a muchness.
He should do both ends and just give Rudi square leg...Oh actually scrap that...I almost forget...he doesn't even refer run-outs in which the batsman is short of his ground.
IMO the best umpires

Quite easily the worst umpire I've seen regularly at international level, tbh. His umpiring in the SA-Pak series was some of the worst you couild ever imagine, and he wasn't much better in the CB Series. Admittedly he's improved a tad in recent times, but he's still quite horrible IMO, comparatively speaking of course.Surprisingly, Rauf's actually had a comparitively decent tournament when I think back to how poor he was in the CB.
OH NO, not Acid RalphIMO the best umpires

I agree. Bowden is under-rated.Can't see why people don't like Billy Bowden as an umpire, sure he steals a bit of the limelight and is a character but as an actual umpire I think he does a pretty good job, often overlooked because of his eccentricity.

I couldn't care less about his eccentricities, what annoys me about him is his pro-Australian bias, especially when Umpiring in Australia.Can't see why people don't like Billy Bowden as an umpire, sure he steals a bit of the limelight and is a character but as an actual umpire I think he does a pretty good job, often overlooked because of his eccentricity.
