A major controversy has rocked the ongoing Ashes 2025-26 after a huge error in technology gave an unfair lifeline to the Australian wicketkeeper-batter Alex Carey on Day 1 of the ongoing third Test against England at the Adelaide Oval in Adelaide.
The Ben Stokes-led England cricket team believed that Alex Carey had edged Josh Tongue behind the stumps, prompting a review. Snicko showed a spike, which initially suggested an edge, but on closer inspection, the ball had actually passed the bat a few frames later.

This situation left everyone confused, and Carey went on to hit his maiden Ashes hundred in Adelaide. Later, Carey admitted that he had, in fact, hit the ball when he was at 72, clearing the air on the incident. However, the real shock came when BBG Sports, the company that owns and operates Snicko, publicly acknowledged a major blunder.

The company said that human error was responsible, with the Snicko operator selecting the wrong stump microphone for audio processing, which led to the misleading spike. BBG Sports took full responsibility for the mistake, calling it a rare technological mishap.
