On Day 1 (Wednesday, December 17), Australia wicketkeeper-batter Alex Carey survived a caught-behind review. Snicko showed a sound spike, but it did not match the visuals. With the evidence inconclusive, England’s appeal was rejected, allowing Carey to continue batting. Carey went on to score a century.
Australia left-arm fast bowler Mitchell Starc criticized the Snicko system during England’s first innings after another controversial decision.
“Snicko needs to be sacked,” Starc was heard saying on the stump microphones during Thursday’s final session at Adelaide Oval.
Starc’s comments came after umpires decided to refer the decision to the third umpire to determine whether England batter Jamie Smith had been caught by Usman Khawaja.

Australia believed the ball had touched Smith’s glove before carrying to Khawaja. The on-field umpires also had doubts and sent the decision to the third umpire to check whether the catch was clean.
Despite several replays being checked, the third umpire ruled Smith not out. He survived on 16, leaving the Australian players frustrated and adding to the ongoing debate around the reliability of Snicko.
