Donald Gordon Weser (born 8 February 1937) is a retired Australian Test cricket match umpire, from Western Australia.
On 1 February 1981, during the third World Series Cup final at the MCG between Australia and New Zealand, Weser was informed by Greg Chappell that his brother Trevor would bowl the final ball underarm, thus denying New Zealand the chance to hit a six and tie the game.
This incident, illegal in England but legal at the time in Australia, is one of the great controversies of world cricket.
[1] In his live commentary former Australian cricket captain Richie Benaud exclaimed "that is one of the best catches I have ever seen in my life".
