Overview

• During his first Reddit Ask Me Anything, Tendulkar quipped, "When I am batting, give him boxing gloves to wear (so he can't raise his finger)."
• The remark alluded to Brisbane 2003, when Bucknor gave him lbw to a Jason Gillespie delivery that replays indicated would have cleared the stumps.
• It also recalled Eden Gardens 2005, where Bucknor ruled him caught behind off Abdul Razzaq despite replays showing no contact with the bat.
• Bucknor has since said on Barbados radio show Mason and Guests that both decisions were mistakes that still weigh on him.
• He has cited the deafening Eden Gardens atmosphere as a factor, while Tendulkar’s record 100 international centuries underscores the high-profile nature of the incidents.
