He stood in four matches in the 1996 Cricket World Cup, including the semi-final between India and Sri Lanka at Eden Gardens in Calcutta, which was abandoned due to the rioting crowd after India lost their eighth wicket chasing the Sri Lankan score. The match was awarded to Sri Lanka.[8] He also umpired in five matches in the 1999 Cricket World Cup. In 1999/2000, he stood in Pakistan's first Test match in India for 12 years, and the first Test between the sides for nine years, at the M. A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.[9]
His 100th ODI was the match between New Zealand and England at his home ground in Dunedin on 26 February 2002. He had also stood in his first ODI at Carisbrook, just over 13 years earlier.
He retired after he was not chosen as one of the eight umpires on the Elite Panel of ICC Umpires, as he was considered not good enough for the modern game. He published an autobiographical account of his experiences, Alone in the Middle, in 2003.[10]
