West Indies’ new captain Roston Chase has doubled down on criticism of umpiring decisions that went against his team during the opening Test against Australia, believing they had a significant impact on the outcome of the game. Coach Daren Sammy came out strongly after the second day’s play and raised concerns about the work of TV umpire Adrian Holdstock. The major decisions to anger West Indies were the dismissals of Chase, lbw when there was a possible inside edge, and Shai Hope to a brilliant catch from Alex Carey after the pair had put together a 67-run stand which took West Indies to 139 for 5 in reply to Australia’s 180. There was also a caught-behind decision against Travis Head on the opening they felt should have been out. The contest remained even at the start of the third day when Australia led by just 82 with six wickets in hand but it turned into a comprehensive 159-run defeat for West Indies. “This game is a frustrating one for me and for the team because we bowled out Australia for a relatively low score. We were very happy with that,” Chase said. “But then there were so many questionable calls in the game and none of them went our way. I mean, as a player, you’re out there, you’re giving your all, you’re fighting. And then nothing is going your way. “It could be heartbreaking. You see what set batters can do on the wicket. The wicket is one where once you get in, you can get runs, but the hardest part is to get in. Me and Shai Hope were going well and then, obviously, we had some questionable calls.
