Episode 15 - Marais Erasmus

From first-class cricketer to elite international umpire, Marais Erasmus takes us inside the pressure, preparation and precision required at the highest level of the game. We unpack what it really takes to become an elite umpire, how technology like DRS has changed decision-making, and what it was like standing in the middle during the unforgettable 2019 World Cup Final. Marais also shares stories from the international circuit and opens up about managing big personalities like Virat Kohli, Stuart Broad and Babar Azam. Insightful, honest and packed with behind-the-scenes stories from one of cricket’s most respected umpires. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
