Further to widespread media comment subsequent to the Old Trafford Test
Match, the ECB confirmed today its full support for Umpire David Shepherd.
ECB Chief Executive Tim Lamb said:
"David Shepherd remains one of the finest Umpires both in domestic and
international cricket and I have personally re-iterated to David both my and
ECB's full support for him".
David Shepherd added:
"I accept the mistakes that I made on the final day of the Old Trafford
Test. I have always endeavoured to perform to the best of my ability in each
game that I officiate in. I have learned from the experiences from earlier
this week, and I look forward to continuing my umpiring tomorrow".
