In the first innings, cost us 50-75 runs, and that could have made a difference.

I really hope they take this up with the referees, and lodge an official complaint

Those decisions were absolutely shocking. I fully support the comments of coach & captain after the game. It is difficult enough having to face Australia, without the third umpire being so biased too! sad

Absolutely! Even the Ozzie fans in the stands agreed that we were tiefed out on both occasions... Windies will have to prepare to beat both the opposition and the refs in remaining tests for sure!

Hard to do with a 7-9 men team. The idiocy of making non-sure picks cappo/VC , some out of their depth, some past it and some out of Form players picks and expect sound all-round performance

Yeah…..that teefing umpire was the reason we lost.

Ah mean…..imagine going out to bat KNOWING that the umpire going to teef you out anyway. So why bother?

Certain people could get away with bitching about umpires and minimizing the FACT of dropped catches and poor batting performances.

I don’t believe anyone got thief out. Most people don’t understand how the review system works. For the third umpire/TV umpire to overrule an on field umpire’s decision there has to be irrefutable evidence to the contrary, otherwise the on field umpire’s decision stands.

Exact wording of
ICC APPENDIX D: DECISION REVIEW SYSTEM (DRS) AND THIRD UMPIRE
3.3.6
If despite the available technology, the third umpire is unable to decide with a high degree of confidence whether the original on-field decision should be changed, then he/she shall report that the replays are ‘inconclusive’, and that the on-field decision shall stand. The third umpire shall not give answers conveying likelihoods or probabilities.

Yeah that deviation and the ball being grassed were irrefutable

Man, even pat cummins admitted that we were unlucky

Shut ya ass.

There was clear and conclusive evidence.
Chase bat edge showed the ball deviating big.
Carey's non-catch showed the ball moved when if hit the grass.

Either you are stupid
or you did not watch the replays.
The same replays that the teefing racist bastard umpire saw.

It just annoys me when people can use all type of excuses to support racist teefing bastards.
The Bim crown should have ended that game, unfortunately there was no crowd.
