Stephen Grant Randell, is a former Australian Test cricket match umpire, the first to come from Tasmania. He umpired 36 Test matches between 1984 and 1998 the highest number by an Australian umpire to that time.. His first match was between Australia and the West Indies at Melbourne on 22 December to 27 December 1984, a drawn match with Australia holding on in the final innings, thanks to a determined century by Andrew Hilditch to deny the West Indies a 12th consecutive Test victory. Randell’s partner was Peter McConnell. In 1994 the International Cricket Council introduced a policy of appointing one umpire to each Test match from a non-participating country. Ten of Randell’s matches were played outside Australia, and did not involve Australia. His last Test match involving Australia was against South Africa at Adelaide on 30 January to 3 February 1998, a drawn match in the visitor’s favour, with captain Mark Taylor dominating the first innings with 169 and Mark Waugh scoring a century in the second innings. Randell’s colleague was the New Zealander, Doug Cowie. In this match, Mark Waugh was controversially given not out when his bat brushed the stumps and dislodged a bail, the umpire ruling that he had completed his shot. Wikipedia [ - ]
