i agree, has never been the same after the way he was treated by the ICC and BCCI after the indian tour of australia. i think it knocked his confidence and he never rocovered any of it, similar to symonds, who is still struggling to get over that tour

I dont think that the Indian tour can be blamed for Symonds bad form, bit of a cop out IMO.

I think you both make reasonable points. I was always happy to have Bucknor umpiring Australian Tests for many years, he was one of the best, and I think the Indian series took its toll on many people.
