Ashes DRS Controversy: This cannot happen if there is no chaos in the Ashes series. Something happened in Adelaide in the third Test match of the Ashes series, after which England has decided to complain to the match referee. Actually, the uproar has taken place over the controversial not out of Australia's wicketkeeper Alex Carey. When this left-handed batsman was on 72 runs, a catch appeal was made against him on the ball of Josh Tong.

England's wicketkeeper Jamie Smith and bowler Tong were completely confident that they were out but the umpire gave them not out. When England took a review, the Australian batsman was given not out under the snicko technique. The interesting thing is that even before the ball reached Carey's bat, Snikko showed movement and when the ball passed near the bat, there was no movement, after which the third umpire gave him not out.

Why is the England team angry?

The England team is angry because they feel that they did not get Carey's wicket due to poor snicko technique.

The big thing is that Carrie also admitted that she felt that some voice had come and she got a little luck. Not only this, the company which is running Snico in this series has also accepted the irregularities.

Snico operator made a mistake

BBG Sports Company admitted that the mistake made by Snico in the case of Carry was the fault of the operator. This company has admitted its mistake and said that the operator, using Snico's technology, selected the wrong audio of the stump mic.

Now England only suffered the loss due to this technical mistake because after this incident Alex Carey scored a century.

Carey played an inning of 106 runs and Australia scored 326 runs on the first day. Had Carry been out, it is possible that Australia would not have even reached 300 runs.
