Russell Tiffin Reaches Umpiring Milestone

Mon, 10/12/2007 - 02:22 — admin

Zimbabwean umpire Russell Tiffin reached a milestone during the 4th ODI against West Indies on Friday, by becoming the 11th umpire to stand in 100 ODIs, 15 years after standing in his first ODI (v India in Harare). Tiffin was understandably pleased at reaching his century:

"It is a special day and it is great to be a member of the 100 club. It is a huge honour and when I look at the calibre of the other umpires who have reached the milestone, it makes me proud."

Congratulations, and may there be many more to come. Tiffin has also stood in 38 Tests to date.

Russel Tiffin i think is a world class umpire he officates in one day internationals but after the decline in first class cricket in zimbabwe he was demoted from the icc elite panel we could have witnessed a great umpire.
