Two mistakes have haunted me: Steve Bucknor recalls 2008 Sydney Test
New Delhi, July 19: Steve Bucknor retired from umpiring in 2009 after officiating in 128 Tests and 181 ODIs. For much of his career, he had an unblemished record but that was somewhat undone by few errors that he made in his final years. Those that stand out were his blunders during the infamous 2008 Sydney Test between India and Australia.
"I made two mistakes in the Sydney Test in 2008. Mistake one, which happened when India were doing well, allowed an Australian batsman to get a hundred. Mistake two, on day five, might have cost India the game. But still, they are two mistakes over five days. Was I the first umpire to make two mistakes in a Test? Still, those two mistakes seem to have haunted me," Bucknor told a daily.
