At virtually the halfway point of this Ashes series, there have been several controversial incidents involving Snicko.<\/p>\n
The biggest controversy came when keeper-batter Carey was adjudged not out on review during the first day of the third Test in Adelaide.<\/p>\n
Carey later admitted he edged the delivery, but survived because the Snicko technology showed a discrepancy between the sound and pictures of the edge.<\/p>\n
Snicko used the sound captured by the stump microphone at the non-striker’s end, rather than the striker’s end.<\/p>\n
BBG, the company that provides Snicko, has admitted responsibility for the error.<\/p>\n
On day two, Australia’s fielders could be heard saying “this could be anything” and “just review everything” in relation to Snicko decisions.<\/p>\n
Another fielder said “Snicko needs to be sacked” and was caught on the stump microphone.<\/p>\n
England wicketkeeper Jamie Smith was controversially dismissed on day two in the second Test in Brisbane following a questionable Snicko review for being caught behind.<\/p>\n
Smith was also controversially dismissed in the first Test in a similar incident, with Snicko showing a spike after the ball went past his bat.<\/p>\n
In the same Test, a similar incident happened involving Australia batter Marnus Labuschagne, although he was not given out due a lack of “conclusive evidence.” <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"At virtually the halfway point of this Ashes series, there have been several controversial incidents involving Snicko.
