West Indies head coach Daren Sammy asked whether there was “something against our team” after Australia benefited from two controversial decisions from the third umpire in their Test match.

The 50-over World Cup is far older and has been competed for since back in 1975. Australia are the record winners having run out victorious on five occasions (1987, 1999, 2003, 2007 and 2015). England took the 2019 crown after a dramatic Ben Stokes-inspired super-over win over New Zealand at Lord's.

Travis Head is leading another Australia attempt to be competitive against the West Indies in a first test in Barbados that may not go beyond three days.
