Peter James Loader (born 25 October 1929) is a former cricketer and umpire who played 13 Test matches for England. He played for Surrey and Beddington cricket club.[1]
Peter Loader also has the distinction of having claimed a Test hat-trick. He achieved this feat in the 4th Test match against the West Indies in 1957. It was only the 12th hat-trick ever taken in Test cricket, the first after the Second World War, and it was another 38 years before Dominic Cork became the next England bowler to take a Test hat-trick.
After moving to Perth, Western Australia, he took up umpiring. Loader retired from umpiring at the top grade for the Western Australian Cricket Association(WACA) in 2007.
