Explanation

David Shepherd of England officiated in five consecutive World Cups from 1983 to 2003, making him one of the most respected umpires in cricket history. The question states six, but records confirm he stood in 1983, 1992, 1996, 1999, and 2003. Steve Bucknor later broke records with six World Cups (1992-2011). Shepherd was known for his nervous habit of lifting one leg when the score reached 111 (Nelson).
