Douglas Sang Hue : Dead at 82

Douglas Sang Hue, a legendary Jamaican international cricket umpire, died on Friday morning in Kingston.

Sang Hue, 82 years old at the time of his passing, had been ailing for sometime.

He stood in 31 Tests over two decades, starting at Sabina Park in his native Jamaica in 1961.

In 1972-73 Sang Hue became the first umpire to stand in all five Tests in a series in the West Indies.

He did so again the following season against England.

Rest In Peace

Sang Hue was involved in a controversy on the second day of the first Test between

West Indies and England in Port-of-Spain in February 1974.

Facing the last ball of the day from left-arm spinner Derek Underwood, Bernard Julien

played a forward defensive-stroke.

Alvin Kallicharran, Julien's partner at the other end, immediately walked up the pitch

towards the pavilion assuming the day's play was over.

Tony Greig, fielding at silly point, threw down the stumps at the bowler's end !  ;D

After hesitating for a few minutes, Sang Hue, who had not called time :

adjudged Kallicharran to be run-out.  :-[

Following crowd trouble in the stadium, a meeting involving the two captains,the umpires,

the England tour manager as well as representatives of the WICB was hastily convened 

Kallicharran was reinstated and batted the following morning !
