Donald Gordon (Don) Weser (born 8 February 1937) is a retired Australian Test cricket match umpire, from Western Australia. He umpired 3 Test matches between 1979 and 1980. His first match was between Australia and England at Sydney on 10 February to 14 February 1979, won by England by 9 wickets, thus retaining The Ashes. Australian captain Graham Yallop scored 121 of the first innings total of 198, but the rest of the batting in both innings failed against Ian Botham, John Emburey and Geoff Miller. Weser's partner was fellow debutant Tony Crafter. Weser's last Test match was between Australia and New Zealand at Perth on 12 December to 14 December 1980, won by Australia by 8 wickets, with a bowling attack of Dennis Lillee, Rodney Hogg, Len Pascoe, and Jim Higgs proving too powerful. Weser's colleague was again Tony Crafter. Weser also umpired 8 One Day International (ODI) matches between 1979 and 1981. On 1 February 1981, during the third World Series Cup final at the MCG between Australia and New Zealand, Weser was informed by Greg Chappell that his brother Trevor would bowl the final ball underarm, thus denying New Zealand the chance to hit a six and tie the game. It was Weser's duty to inform both batsmen which he duly did. This incident, although legal at the time, is one of the great controversies of world cricket. He umpired one women's Test match in 1984. Altogether, he umpired 32 first-class matches in his career between 1977 and 1985. He has a son - Michael Perry Weser (born 17/9/58) == See also == * List of Test cricket umpires * List of One Day International cricket umpires 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Don Weser」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
