NSW Cricket Umpire and Life Member Arthur Watson makes history today as he becomes the first umpire to officiate 800 matches in the Sydney Cricket Association when he takes to the field at Rosedale Oval.
He will be umpiring the Second Grade fixture between Fairfield-Liverpool and UTS North Sydney with his great friend Sathish Kumar at the ground where the umpire’s room is named after him.
