150 for Koertzen

Abu Dhabi : The inaugural match in this desert venue between India and Pakistan marked a significant moment in the career of ICC Elite Panel umpire Rudi Koertzen as it was his 150th one-day international.

By standing in the game on Tuesday, the 57-year-old South African has become only the second umpire to officiate in that many number of ODIs after England's now-retired David Shepherd.

``When I started umpiring in 1981 I did it just to be involved with the game that I love and I never dreamt I would reach this stage,'' Koertzen said. — PTI
