Australia took a slight advantage over England at stumps on Day 1. Carey scored a memorable century before falling for 106 runs. Usman Khawaja scored 82 runs after coming into the side as a late replacement for the unwell Steven Smith. Jofra Archer was the pick of the bowlers for England with three wickets.
England reviewed the decision, and Snicko showed a noticeable spike. However, the sound appeared a few frames before the ball reached Carey’s bat. With the noise not lining up visually, the third umpire upheld the on-field call of not out, leaving England frustrated.
There Was a Bit of a Feather or Some Sort of Noise - Alex Carey
Speaking at the press conference, Alex Carey said that he may have edged the ball, but the decision went in his favour. Carey stated that he heard a faint noise as the ball passed his bat. Carey accepted that the decision involved a bit of luck, noting that Snicko did not line up properly on the visuals.
“Snicko obviously didn’t line up, did it. That’s just the way cricket goes sometimes, you have a bit of luck, and maybe it went my way today.”

England’s bowling coach David Saker said the team were convinced Carey had edged the ball. He criticised the reliability of Snicko, adding that the technology has been inconsistent throughout the series.
“I think the snicko’s (been) out quite a bit, and it’s probably been the case for the series. I can’t remember the exact score, but it was a pretty important decision. Those things hurt ... you’d think in this day-and-age, you’d hope the technology’s good enough to pick things up like that," he added.
