Australia Leads West Indies by 82 Runs Amid Umpire Run-Out Dispute in Jamaica Test
On Day 2 of the third Test at Sabina Park, Australia took control with an 82-run lead after a dramatic day marked by a tense exchange between captain Pat Cummins and umpire Nitin Menon over a missed run-out appeal against West Indies opener John Campbell. Cummins vehemently protested the decision not to refer the run-out upstairs, arguing that he had formally appealed and urging the umpire to review the footage, though the umpire cited the lack of a formal appeal as the reason for not consulting the third umpire. Despite this missed opportunity, Australia's pace attack, featuring Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, and Scott Boland, exploited the seam-friendly conditions to dismantle the West Indies batting lineup, which collapsed to 143 all out, with Campbell top-scoring with 36. The West Indies suffered a significant middle and lower order collapse, losing their last eight wickets for 85 runs, while Australia's bowlers maintained disciplined line and length and took advantage of the pitch conditions. Australia is now poised for a 3-0 series whitewash, strengthening their prospects in the upcoming World Test Championship. The controversy highlighted the complexities of cricket's laws regarding the batter's ground and appeals, with the incident sparking debate on the use of technology and umpiring decisions in the game.
