Brathwaite knocks umpiring

DHAKA, Bangladesh – Skipper Carlos Brathwaite revealed over the weekend he had complained to ICC match referee Jeff Crowe about the standard of umpiring following the second Twenty20 International on Thursday.

Speaking in the wake of the controversy of the third T20 International, Brathwaite said he was prompted to take the action because of his concern that no marginal decisions were going in West Indies’ favour.

“I went to the match referee after the second game. I didn’t think the 50-50 decisions were going in our favour. Those decisions went for Bangladesh,” Brathwaite said in the post-match media conference.

“I never ever want to accuse someone of cheating. I will stop short of that. They are professionals as well. I don’t think they would go out there to be biased or, for lack of a better word, cheat.” (CMC)
