UMPIRING BACKGROUND
Why did you choose umpiring?
To stay involved in and contribute to cricket
Who has had the most influence on your umpiring career?
Darren Goodger and Bruce Oxenford
Describe your memoeries from your First Class debut
Very excited, a little nervous, extremely focused and proud to have joined the ranks
Which is your favourite cricket ground to umpire at and why
WACA, because I love the feeling of the wide open space, without feeling hemmed in by big stands on the eastern and western sides
If you could invent a new rule for the game, what would it be?
If the ball strikes the stumps from a fielder's throw, it is dead. Get rid of leg byes; if you don't hit it, no runs
Why should people get involved in umpiring?
Great way to watch great cricket and fantastic way to make a real contribution to the game
What advice would you give to aspiring umpires?
Be patient and enjoy the experience and to use every match as an opportunity to get better
