To younger members of the world's cricketing community, the late Peter Burge will be best remembered as the tough but fair match referee who has presided over international fixtures for the last nine years. Western Warriors coach Michael Veletta will seek guidance from Australian cricket selectors before deciding where Test opener Justin Langer bats this season. Former Australian Test cricket batsman Peter Burge died today in Brisbane, aged 69.
Burge is believed to have suffered a heart attack.
However, no place has been found for Matthew Horne, who has lost his place to uncapped Lou Vincent. The ICC will present its vision for the future of the international game at a special event at Lord's Cricket Ground, London, on 8th October.
