There are many who feel sacking Bucknor has set an unhealthy precedent. There are others who say "Each time an Indian cricketer appeals, umpires are now compromised. Enrage the monster, and pay for it with your job. Quite the message of encouragement for a group already under immense pressure in their day-to-day duties."
However, in my opinion sacking Bucknor has set a good precedent. Any one who has played cricket lets say from W.G.Grace to the nondescript kid have smarted under the arbitrariness and bias in an umpire's decision.
This sacking will serve the purpose of letting all umpires know that incompetence, cussedness, arbitrariness and bias will not be tolerated.
Bucknor's sacking has made clear that umpires have to shape up or ship out. Isn't that a good precedent?
