Ashes 2025/6

My own view is that this is a nothing burger.
England thought it was a wicket so appealed. The on-field umpire gave Alex Carey not out. Carey admitted in the press conference that he felt something but he's under no obligation to walk and I'd encourage a player not to walk unless he's 100% certain he should be out and even then it's his choice.
England used a review, but the technology deployed didn't give sufficient evidence to overturn the on-field decision. So the TMO went with the umpire's decision.
Snicko's less good than the system used in England, but that's hardly news.

Just like when we had Haddin with a mark on his bat. I mean, that could have come from anywhere.

Sorry what?
It's The Ashes. If they do not have the sufficient technology that's a huge problem
The question is why is the technology not as good as the system used in England? That's not acceptable.

The decision review system technology is mandatory in matches played in the World Test Championship, is provided by the host TV broadcaster of the home team.
In this series, the host broadcaster is Fox, which uses BBG Sports to provide Snicko.
In England, Sky Sports uses UltraEdge a French ball-tracking system which enables higher accuracy in review decision.

The review process was protracted, taking well over four minutes,
Overall, Cricket handles replays better than most other sports. But damn. 4 minutes!

it was weird all round really. Carey thought he hit it, the snicko was obviously not right. But i was convinced i saw daylight between bat and ball (and so was the 3rd umpire).

15 balls ago England would have felt pretty good. Now they are in the shit again

When do discussions about the worst English side ever to tour Australia begin?
Well, the two best batsmen in the world are at the crease so lets not get carried away
( EDIT: Oops, Brook has dropped to 4th )

oof, 300 behind with 4 already in the shed is not ideal. Not your usual day game at Adelaide scorecard so far.

once again Stokes is the one showing fight. He's faced the most deliveries in the series of any English batsman. He's bowled 51 overs and has the best average of any English bowler.
