Harbhajan Singh appeal to be tried by controversial judge of New Zealand, John Hansen- a ploy by the ICC

Harbhajan Singh 's appeal to be judged by John Hansen, the controversial judge of the New Zealand High court- another sinister ploy in this critical cricket incident?

Harbhajan Singh's appeal will be judged by John Hansen, a really controversial judge who is known to give rather "blinkered" decisions.

According to Kiwifirst, John Hansen, the New Zealand high court judge is known to make rather controversial judgements.

John Hansen's appointment is probably a bad choice in this most important judgement for world cricket, the ICC and the BCCI

John Hanson has been described by this Kiwifirst website as someone who is "unable to apparently separate his personal bias and interests from his arbiter's job" and someone who is "Prone to take a blinkered approach in proceedings and in his written accounts of proceedings and rulings, providing inordinate focus on the arguments of the litigant (or counsel) he personally fancies"

In the context of the Oval cricket test controversy, the ICC and world cricket authorities are often seen as being against the teams of the subcontinent and appointing this "blinkered" judge for such this important Harbhajan Singh - Andrew Symonds cricket controversy smacks of really poor taste and a touch of the sinister

Ricky Ponting lacks integrity as shown by his appealing when the ball is grounded

Ricky Ponting surely lacks any semblance of integrity. The two appeals , one off Dhoni, where he claimed to have perfectly (!) taken the catch (see attached photo) and the catch by Clarke perfectly sum up his integrity or lack of it

As Prem Panicker writes in Rediff.com, Ricky Ponting should be banned until Ricky Ponting improves his behavior

Ricky Ponting drops gamesmanship, takes on cheating

Ricky Ponting said "There is no way I grounded the ball". What do you think, is Ricky Ponting grounding the ball or is the ground rising up to meet the ball ?

Get rid of Ricky Ponting and his kind of cheating in the name of gamesmanship

Steve Bucknor,man of the match in India Vs Australia Sydney cricket test.2007

Steve Bucknor already awarded the "man of the match" trophy for Sydney cricket test?

In a breaking news, it has been reported that Steve Bucknor has been already awarded the man of the match trophy for the Sydney cricket test (see insert photo of Steve Bucknor receiving the trophy).

Steve Bucknor has created another record in test cricket history to receive the man of the match trophy even before the test match has been completed.

In fact, Steve Bucknor apparently received the man of the match trophy on the very first day of the Sydney cricket test! It is highly unlikely that this Steve Bucknor record will ever be beaten- Bradman's record of three triple centuries could be beaten someday but definitely not Steve Bucknor's record

Steve Bucknor the first cricket test umpire to be awarded the man of the match trophy in Sydney cricket test,2007

Steve Bucknor has apparently created a world record in test cricket history by becoming the first umpire in test cricket to be awarded the man of the match trophy,hitherto confined to test cricket players.

Steve Bucknor has so far turned out an amazing cricket performance and is definitely the person on the cricket field most influencing the outcome of the Sydney test,2007

Andrew Symonds rapped on his knuckles by the Aussie captain,Ponting, says it was Steve Bucknor's fault,mate

Apparently Symonds was playing slighly slow at some point in his innings in the Sydney cricket test and Ricky Ponting asked him to lose his wicket so that Brett Lee and
Johnson could score some fast runs, but try as he might, Steve Bucknor ensured that Andrew Symonds couldn't get out. An embarrased Andrew Symonds apparently told his captain that
with Steve Bucknor around, "It wasn't my fault,mate , I tried to lose my wicket"

Steve Bucknor and his incredible achievement has ensured that he is feared by every cricket opposition in the world, and not only batsmen but also aggressive bowlers quake when they hear that Steve Bucknor is part of the ICC Elite Umpiring Panel
