Holdstock's decision never seemed to be going in favour of the West Indies for once, as most of the decisions went in favour of the visitors. Hence, speaking after the second day's play, Sammy said he had doubts related to Adrian Holdstock's umpiring.
"You don't want to get yourself in a situation where you're wondering about certain umpires," Sammy said. "Is there something against this team? But when you see decision after decision, then it raises the question."
Daren Sammy has admitted to this offence and has also accepted the sanction that was provided by match referee Javagal Srinath. Though the minimum penalty of an official reprimand can have a maximum of more than 50% of the match fee, along with handed demerit points.
Decisions made by Adrian Holdstock that angered Daren Sammy
Daren Sammy was angered by several decisions made by Adrian Holdstock, who was assigned the third umpire role in the first Test against Australia.
The next day followed, with two more controversial decisions made. Roston Chase's LBW decision was upheld by the TV umpire despite a clear suggestion of an inside edge, and Shai Hope's inside edge was caught stunningly by Alex Carey, which was ruled clean by Holdstock.
