Although Gould could never play a Test for his country, he came in as a substitute in Melbourne in 1982-83 and took a catch which helped England dismiss Greg Chapell for 2.
It is as an umpire that Gould is best known for. His contribution to the field of umpiring has been immense and over the years Gould has given some of the toughest decisions with utmost conviction, ease and accuracy.
The ongoing World Cup is his fourth as an umpire and he will retire having officiated in 74 Tests and 140 ODIs overall.
