When there is doubt in something, just be consistent across the board.”“I have noticed, especially with this particular umpire, it’s something that for me started in England. It’s frustrating. I just ask for consistency in the decision-making.”Sammy particularly addressed his issues about Holdstock’s officiating. “Yeah, look, you don’t want to get yourself in a situation where you’re wondering about certain umpires. Is there something against this team? But when you see decision after decision, then it raises the question. I know he’s here for the series. You don’t want to go in a Test match having that doubt.”“So I want to have that conversation as to the process… so we could be all clear. Because, at the end of the day, you don’t want to be going into a Test match not trusting the umpires. And that’s not what our team is about. So we’re just looking for some clarity as to the decisions.”When questioned about submitting a proper criticism, Sammy remained noncommittal, stating, “You’ll have to wait and see for that.”

Regarding Chase’s dismissal, which occurred throughout an important 67-run sixth-wicket partnership with Hope, Sammy famous, “In our opinion, we saw the ball deviated onto the pad.”Sammy drew comparisons between Hope’s dismissal and Travis Head’s reprieve from the earlier day. “I’m just saying, judge what you see,” Sammy mentioned. “If you see the same thing and one is not out, there is even more doubt on the other one than you give it out. Again, I don’t know what he’s seen but from the images that we’ve seen, the decisions are not fair enough for both teams. We’re all humans. Mistakes will be made. I just want fairness.“Australia additionally skilled a controversial choice when their early morning lbw enchantment towards Chase was denied. Mitchell Starc questioned the synchronisation between photographs and audio in the replays.“There’s been some interesting ones,” Starc mentioned. “Obviously a couple more have gone against the West Indies than us. One for us [against Chase] looked like there was a gap between the bat and the ball, it cost us 40-odd runs, but then a contentious one to then get the wicket.”“As players, you can only ask a question. We don’t use the technology to make that decision. It sort of felt like, or looked like, that the Snicko and the images were out of sync to some capacity.”

Starc talked about that the Australian crew believed Head’s edge to Hope the earlier day should have been dominated out.Sammy acknowledged the dangers of commenting on match officers and discouraged his players from discussing the selections. “We know the rules. We know fines going all across the board,” he mentioned. “I don’t want them to focus on that. Yes, we’re kind of shooting ourselves in the foot by dropping so many catches, but look at the Test match, [us] against our own selves, some of these decisions, and we’re still in a position to win.“
