In between the swashbuckling innings of MSD, when I heard the sad news of demise of David Shepherad , the first thing was the great loss of a great gentleman from the gentleman's game which is gradually dominated by raw powerful young boys. When you see David Shepherad walk into a ground for officiating a game of cricket, you can see the authority he carried. He was unfurled by the bad boys of the game. Yes, of course his hop on nelson number 111,222 is what is more made him more popular but his contribution to the game is enormous for his honesty, judicious decision that has maintained the scantily of this wonderful game in this age of high technical infusion. Doing all these tough job he can still be smiling and keep charting with the player. I still remember some remarkable decisions and this tubby character was always in complete control of the field. Paying a tribute to the old man for serving this game that we love and keeping every decision in right proportion.
