David Shepherd — The man who hopped his way to the top as an umpire
David Shepherd, born December 27, 1940, was one of the finest umpires the cricketing world had ever seen. He officiated in six World Cups, from 1983 to 2003, and was seldom known to make a poor decision. Karthik Parimal looks back at the career of this brilliant umpire, who will fondly be remembered for his hop at the sight of Nelson on the scoreboard.
