Bucknor may not stand in Perth Test

Without taking names, Indian team manager Chetan Chauhan made it known his team8217;s feelings about the umpires in the Sydney Test match.

8220;I would like to express the sentiment of the team. The way the umpiring was, the team is agitated and upset,8221; Chauhan said after the team8217;s 122-run loss to Australia.

8220;A lot of decisions have gone against us, of course a few went against the Australians also. But it really affected us.8221;

8220;Had some of the decisions, I would say 50 per cent of the decisions, were received in our favour, the result would have been different,8221; he added.

Chauhan said the complain had nothing to do with India losing the game and was a general disappointment with the officiating.

8220;We8217;re not saying this because we have lost the game.

It was for everybody to see. I have been informed by the BCCI that they are lodging a strong protest with the ICC so that some of the incompetent umpires do not umpire in the rest of the series,8221; he said.

The Indian team management is likely to draft a carefully worded letter about their request to not let Bucknor, or his partner Mark Benson in this Test, stand further in this series.
