Indian cricket team forces Umpire Steve Bucknor to be replaced

THE AGE - After narrowly losing to the Australian cricket team in a game they were never going to win anyway, the Indian team have forced the ICC to replace Jamaican umpire Steve Bucknor.

The suspension of Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh for calling Australian player Andrew Symonds "monkey" forced India to do something.

"We are unhappy about the suspension for racial abuse," said an Indian Cricket spokesperson, "so we figure the best way to demonstrate that we aren't racists is to get that monkey Steve Bucknor replaced with a white South African umpire. "


Everyone can now continue to not follow the cricket with an easy mind.
