Biography
Harper was born in the Adelaide suburb of Mile End in 1951 and attended Norwood High School before taking up primary school teaching. He had a brief career as an Australian rules football umpire before injury forced him to quit.[1]
Playing career
Harper played as a right-handed batsman in Adelaide grade cricket competition for the Teachers' College and East Torrens clubs.
Umpiring
In 1983 he switched to umpiring, making his first-class cricket debut in 1987.
Harper made his first appearance in an international fixture in January 1994 when he umpired a One Day International (ODI) in Perth between New Zealand and South Africa. In November 1998 Harper made his test match debut when appointed to stand in the 2nd Ashes test at the WACA ground alongside umpire Venkat; Harper also stood at the MCG in the 4th test of that series. After promotion to the National Grid Panel of International Umpires, Harper also began to appear in Test matches away from Australia as the designated independent umpire.
In 2002 the International Cricket Council (ICC) introduced a policy of two independent umpires standing in each Test match, and one independent & one home umpire in ODIs. The independent umpires would be chosen from a newly conceived ICC Elite umpire panel comprising the ICC’s determination of the top 8 - 10 umpires from around the world. Harper was included in the original line up for this panel, at the time chosen over fellow Australians Simon Taufel and Darrell Hair (both of whom subsequently joined the panel in 2003). In May 2011 the ICC announced their decision to drop Harper from the panel.[2] The ICC subsequently revealed that Harper, despite no longer meriting a place on the Elite Panel, would stand in two further Test matches, between West Indies and India at Sabina Park and Windsor Park.
Harper umpired the opening match of the 2003 Cricket World Cup in South Africa, and went on to stand in one of the semi-finals. On August 31, 2005 he adjudicated in his 100th ODI, a match between Zimbabwe and New Zealand at Harare.
Harper was the third umpire for a trial of the 'player referral' system in 2009, where he made a series of errors.[3] In 2010 England lodged a formal complaint against Harper after a referred caught behind decision was turned down due to the volume on the replay not being high enough to detect the edge.[4][5] The ICC later dropped Harper from the 2010 ICC World Twenty20 due to "general performance reasons".[6] During the second Test between West Indies and India, in June 2011, Cricinfo reported that "Umpire Daryl Harper has withdrawn from the third Test. That's verbatim: their tweet does not have the word 'been' between has and withdrawn. Arm-twisting? Draw your conclusions. Must be said that Harper's umpiring has bordered on the disastrous in recent times, and the Indians complained about it after the first Test."[7]
