Despite it being a drizzly evening (perfect cricket weather 😂) it was great fun filming with BBC Bitesize to chat about Umpiring and how to get involved in the game 🏏 bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/…

What is thought to be the first photo of all first-class umpires assembled at the start of a season, in this case 1978. Growing up, to me most of them were familiar names and faces. The Test umpires were Bird, Budd, Meyer, Constant, Spencer and Palmer (The Cricketer)
