Pakistan's Aleem Dar on Thursday surpassed Steve Bucknor's record for officiating in most number of Test matches as an umpire during the first Test of the three-match series between Australia and New Zealand at the Perth Stadium.
Australia won the toss and elected to bat.
The 51-year-old, who took up umpiring after a decade of playing first-class cricket in Pakistan, is standing in his 129th Test match as on-field umpire since his debut in Dhaka in 2003 during England's tour of Bangladesh.
Bucknor officiated in 128 Tests and 181 ODIs between 1989 and 2009.
"You have to be mentally strong otherwise you can't survive."
Aleem Dar is set to break Steve Bucknor's record of most Test matches as an umpire when he takes the field in Perth tomorrow.
