Via England’s NPUA website, great news that Hamish Jamson has been promoted to the World Panel.
“It is with great delight that we can congratulate Hamish Jamson, who has been promoted to the Men’s World Panel.
On this special occasion EHUSP Chair, Paul Box-Grainger, said: “This is fantastic news and is worthy of a special mention because of its rarity.”
Following the World Cup in Moenchengladbach 2006, Hamish was returned to the World Development Panel – rather than give up, as many would have done after 70+ internationals matches, Hamish re-examined every aspect of his umpiring and was both willing and able to make the adjustments necessary.
That combination of willingness to change and commitment to the performance ethic has gained him the respect of the umpiring world across the globe and has reflected incredibly well on his own strength of character and the reputation of English umpiring.
Many congratulations to Hamish, we are all very proud of what you have achieved.”
Having met and spoken to Hamish about his experiences, I think the entire global umpiring community can be proud. Not only is Hamish a wonderful person and refreshingly forthcoming about his downs as well as his ups on the international stage, he stands as proof positive to every one of us that if we work hard enough, we can all achieve amazing things. Well done, Mr. Bean!
