5 most experienced Test umpires

#4 Daryl Harper

Australian Harper became an umpire at just 32 years of age, in 1983. By 1987 he was umpiring at first-class level.

However, it was not until November 1998 that he made the progression to Test cricket. He stood in the second Ashes test in Perth, as well as at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in the fourth Test.

After promotion to the National Grid Panel of International Umpires, he began to appear in Test matches away from Australia as the designated independent umpire.

Harper officiated in 95 Tests until November 2011 and was the Third Umpire for a trial of the 'player referral' system in 2009. The system now known as the decision review system (DRS) has since gone on to play an important role in cricket.
