whom do you think is best Billy Bowden or Simon Taufel?

simon taufel is best bowden

I do agree to you that simon is the best..Inmost cases he is error free and I havent seen him making much errors...But I like billy's own actions a lot...he is special from others...

Yes i also like him but billy is also good.

Your choice is the right one. Billy Bowden was attractive initially. Once he settled with his old score people are no more attraced to him. Taufel on the other hand is consistent and got selected as the best umpire three years in a row. More than that he was selected the best official in Australia this year. I go for Taufel as well.

i too feel taufel is the best umpire.. he s by far the best compared to someone like billy or even bucknor....

I would go for Simon Taufel as well even though Billy is much more entertaining but Simon is good at his job and he is a great umpire and that is why he got the best umpire award by ICC in 2006.
