I can accept when umpires out in the middle make errors of judgement. What is much, much harder to explain however, is what on earth is going on with the third umpire. Absolutely disgraceful decisions against the two well set middle order batsmen, just when the West Indies were starting to look for a position of dominance.

Forgive my cynicism but I have to wonder of those decisions would have been given out against say, English or Indian batsmen..?

I think not...
