West Indies: Chase Criticizes Umpiring in Barbados Test

Chase Raises Concerns Over Umpiring and Fielding Errors

West Indies captain Roston Chase has voiced strong concerns over several umpiring decisions that he believes negatively impacted his team during the first Test against Australia in Barbados. Coach Daren Sammy had also expressed frustration with TV umpire Adrian Holdstock’s calls after the second day.

Chase was particularly upset by his own lbw dismissal, where an inside edge was possible, and the dismissal of Shai Hope, caught brilliantly by Alex Carey. These decisions came when West Indies were building momentum at 139 for 5 chasing Australia’s 180. There was also controversy over a caught-behind decision against Travis Head, which West Indies felt was incorrect.

Chase emphasized the need for more umpire accountability, pointing out that players face strict penalties while officials often escape consequences for poor calls. He noted that such decisions significantly affected the team’s chance to build a bigger lead.

West Indies also struggled with fielding, dropping seven catches including one on the third day when Travis Head was let off at slip. Chase acknowledged the difficulty in translating practice into match-day catches, saying, β€œOnce one goes down, players get nervous, but we must move forward.”
