John Blair Robert Hastie (born 8 November 1932) is a former New Zealand cricket umpire. He stood in seven Test matches between 1974 and 1981 and four ODI games between 1975 and 1982. [1]

Hastie umpired in two of the matches in one of the most acrimonious Test series of all, when the West Indies toured New Zealand in 1979–80. In the First Test, at Carisbrook, Dunedin, after Hastie turned down an appeal by Michael Holding for caught behind, Holding kicked two of the stumps out of the ground. [2] During this Test, Hastie and his colleague Fred Goodall gave a Test record number of leg before wicket decisions: 12 – seven against the West Indies batsmen, five against New Zealand. New Zealand won by one wicket. [3] [4]

In all, Hastie umpired in 48 first-class matches and 12 List A matches between January 1964 and March 1984, most of them at either Seddon Park, Hamilton, or Eden Park, Auckland. [5] [6]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Dismissal (cricket)</span> Cricket terminology

In cricket, a dismissal occurs when a batter's innings is brought to an end by the opposing team. Other terms used are the batter being out, the batting side losing a wicket, and the fielding side taking a wicket. The ball becomes dead, and the dismissed batter must leave the field of play for the rest of their team's innings, to be replaced by a team-mate. A team's innings ends if ten of the eleven team members are dismissed. Players bat in pairs so, when only one batter remains who can be not out, it is not possible for the team to bat any longer. This is known as dismissing or bowling out the batting team, who are said to be all out.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Michael Holding</span> Jamaican cricketer and commentator

Michael Anthony Holding is a Jamaican former cricketer and commentator who played for the West Indies cricket team. Widely regarded as one of the greatest pace bowlers in cricket history, he was nicknamed "Whispering Death" due to his silent, light-footed run up to the bowling crease. Holding was a key member of the West Indies team that won the 1979 Cricket World Cup, and had the most wickets for his team at the tournament. His bowling action was renowned for being smooth and extremely fast, and he used his height to generate large amounts of bounce and zip off the pitch. He was part of the fearsome West Indian pace bowling battery, together with Andy Roberts, Joel Garner, Colin Croft, Wayne Daniel, Malcolm Marshall and Sylvester Clarke, that devastated opposing batting line-ups throughout the world in the late seventies and early eighties. Early in his Test career, in 1976, Holding broke the record for best bowling figures in a Test match by a West Indies bowler, 14 wickets for 149 runs (14/149). The record still stands. During his first-class cricket career, Holding played for Jamaica, Canterbury, Derbyshire, Lancashire, and Tasmania. In September 2021, Holding announced his retirement from being a commentator.
