Former Test Umpire David Shepherd dies

[Chetan0304]

A lot of people are quite familiar with one of my superstitions, the little hop I give when the score passes certain milestones.


It harks back to when I was kid playing village cricket down in Devon and we had an unlucky number - 111.


We call it The Nelson, which you would also get with other multiples like 222 and 333

RIP

Fond memories of Shep. Gone for one last hop in the sky.

Rest in peace to a true gentleman and character.

RIP, one of the best umps ever.

He and D Bird were the best in 90's, he was really a true gentleman...
