The best earn the right to get it wrong

In September 2019 I met up with former West Indies opening batsman Darren Ganga at the Hero CPL T20 event in the Caribbean. He is one of the commentators adding insights for the millions of viewers.

When he saw me, the smile on his face was a big as one of Chris Gayle’s sixes from his last century at Warner Park in St Kitts. Darren and I have a very good relationship built on respect and trust as player and umpire. The relationship got off to a rocky start though.

It was back in the Australian season of 2000/2001, not long after I umpired my first Test at the MCG at the age of 29.
