Douglas Sang Hue was a Jamaican umpire of Chinese descent who became a prominent figure in West Indies cricket during the 1960s and 1970s. Born in Clarendon on 28 October 1931, he spent nearly two decades at the highest level of the game. Over the course of his career, he stood in 31 Test matches between 1962 and 1981, as well as one ODI in 1988.
His introduction to elite officiating was unusual, as his first Test match—the fifth Test against India at Sabina Park in March 1962—doubled as his debut in first-class cricket. He quickly earned a reputation for competence, with Wisden later describing him as the most professional of the umpires during the 1967/68 series against England.
Tensions ran high during the second Test against England in February 1968 at Kingston. When Sang Hue correctly ruled Basil Butcher out on the fourth day, the decision triggered significant crowd unrest. Police deployed tear gas to control the situation, but shifting winds blew the gas across the commentators' stand and into the pavilion where the Governor-General was located. The chaos resulted in the match extending into a sixth day, eventually ending in a draw with England eight wickets down.
Sang Hue passed away on 22 August 2014 at the age of 82.
