Australian International Summer 2020/21

[Jim05]

Question for Stats gurus (TDK or Spelly):

1. When was the last time an Australian umpire had a Test match in their own country?

2. When was the last time we had 2 Australian umpires in the same match?

My guess would be over 10 years, and maybe nearly twenty years for second question.

Reckon the ICC ruling on home test umpires came in around the early 2000’s

Kohli win the toss and India are batting first.

Looking forward to watching Shaw bat. He was going to make his debut in Adelaide 2 years ago as a 19 year old, but rolled his ankle in the lead up game. He will take on the Aussie quicks.

Really enjoyed that

[Jim05]

Lol, second ball onya bike

[RustyCage]

Great first over by Starc

Nah he never got to umpire a home test match.

Plenty of white ball cricket though.

Burns will make 4.
A streaky edge through slips/gully.

Did you look that up Jim or you read it somewhere?
Usually trivia like that is mentioned in the ESPN Cricinfo commentary or their match preview but I couldn't find anything mentioned about the umpires.

Not sure you could actually bowl a better one than the Cummins wicket

I knew the ICC law about home umpires came in back around the early 2000’s so did some research

Yep, India need to get runs before it gets dark

[Senor Moto Gadili]

Lyon getting plenty out of this wicket.... gets Pujarra and should have had Kholi.

391 for Gaz, great to break that partnership.
