Like cricketers, even international umpires live out of a suitcase and miss being with their loved ones. After South African umpire Rudi Koertzen walked out to stand in his 100th Test match at Lord's yesterday, his thoughts were directed to his family. "I would like to dedicate both my achievements to my wife Hyla and four children u2013 my daughters Yalali and Eumelda and my sons Rudolf and Luan. I haven't spent much time with them in the last 17 years as I have been away from home for an average of 210 days a year," saidu00a0 Koertzen, who only recently, completed 200 one-day internationals.
