    "editor1": "<p><strong>Perth, Dec 11:<\/strong>&nbsp;Pakistan&#39;s Aleem Dar will surpass Steve Bucknors record for officiating in most Test matches as an umpire when the first Test match between Australia and New Zealand commences here from Thursday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The 51-year-old, who took up umpiring after a decade of playing first-class cricket in Pakistan, stands in his 129th Test match as on-field umpire since his debut in Dhaka in 2003 during England&#39;s tour of Bangladesh.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;This is one milestone I had never thought of when I began my umpiring career. It is a truly amazing feeling and a high point of my life when I take the field here in Australia; thousands of miles from where I started my international career at home in Gujranwala,&quot; Dar was quoted as saying by ICC.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Steve Bucknor was my idol and it is only sinking in now that I will have officiated in more Test matches than him. In the nearly two decades of my international career, I have had the good fortune of watching some memorable matches and achievements like Brian Lara&#39;s Test knock of 400 not out and South Africa&#39;s epic chase of Australia&#39;s score of 434 in an ODI in Johannesburg in 2006,&quot; he added.<\/p>\r\n",
