Another Australian never to give Bill Lawry out in a home Test ...
He's been getting noticeably worse and tied to the fact he's probably rarely in Aus for much of the year no surprise.

He was a remarkable umpire, have nothing but respect for this! Apart from that he was a real gentlemen! Cricket will miss him


If umpires like Kumar are winning ICC Umpire of the Year Award then I wonder what the future holds. I'd have one eye Simon over this two (or even four) eyed Kumar anyday!
