Roston Chase Slams Umpires: West Indies captain Roston Chase demanded action on the disputed decision of third umpire

New Delhi. The West Indies team, playing against Australia at their home, faced the so -called bias of the third umpire in the first Test match. This match is in the headlines due to controversial decisions and even after the end of the match, the matter does not seem to be calming. West Indies Test captain Roston Chase openly expressed displeasure over the controversial umpiring decisions during the 159 -run defeat in the first Test match against Australia. He described it as a ‘heart -breaking’ and ‘disappointing’ and questioned that when the players make a mistake, they are given strict punishment but why there is no action on the umpires.

The TV umpire Adrian Holdstock controversy remains a topic of discussion at this time. During the match, at least half a dozen decisions of the third umpire created a ruckus on social media. Chase had two 50-50 decisions, one of which he survived and not in the other. Real Bawal Shai Hope was dismissed for 48 runs in the second innings. Australia’s wicketkeeper Alex Carrie caught a great catch on the left side. Field umpires abandoned the decision on Holdstock. In the replay, the ball was probably touched the grass while living in Carrie’s gloves, but he gave out.

Roston Chase said, “This is disappointing because when we players make a mistake, we are punished strictly.” But nothing happens to the officials. They just take a wrong or suspicious decision and life goes on. You are talking about the career of the players. A wrong decision can make or spoil a player’s career. I think when the players make a mistake, they get punished. Similarly, when there are wrong decisions against you, there should be some punishment. “

Chase spoke to Lakere in the first innings to a catch like Hope against Travis Head. Which Holdstock had given in favor of the batsman and said that from such decisions, he feels that “all are against him. I and Shai Hope were playing well and then, of course, some suspicious decisions took place. This made us difficult to make a big lead on Australia’s score.
