Australia wicketkeeper Alex Carey said he thought he edged the ball when he was given not out on review during day one of the third Ashes Test against England.<\/b><\/p>\n

After surviving on 72, Carey went on to make a fine 106 to help the hosts reach 326-8 at the close in Adelaide.<\/p>\n

The technology showed a large spike when England called for a review in the 63rd over but the TV pictures showed it coming before the ball had reached the bat.<\/p>\n

“I thought there was a feather or some sort of noise when it passed the bat,” said Carey.<\/p>\n

“If I was given out I think I would have reviewed it, probably not confidently. It was a nice sound as it passed the bat.”<\/p>\n

There has been debate about ‘Snicko’, the technology used in such situations in Australia, throughout the series after a number of inconclusive incidents.<\/p>\n

In the first Test in Perth, England wicketkeeper Jamie Smith was given out caught behind on review<\/a> despite a spike coming after the ball had passed his bat and glove.<\/p>\n

That was explained as being because the technology used in Australia has a two-frame gap between the pictures and the sound wave.<\/p>\n

Bowling coach David Saker suggested England may escalate this latest incident further with match referee Jeff Crowe. <\/p>\n

“I don’t think we’ve done anything about it so far but after today, maybe that might go a bit further,” Saker said.<\/p>\n

“There have been concerns about it for the whole series. We shouldn’t be talking about this after a day’s play, it should just be better than that. It is what it is.”<\/p>\n

Carey is not new to Ashes controversy. He was the wicketkeeper who famously stumped Jonny Bairstow at Lord’s in the 2023 series, resulting in a febrile final day.<\/p>\n

On his reprieve he added: “Snicko obviously didn’t line up. It is just the way cricket goes – sometimes you have a bit of luck.<\/p>\n

“Maybe it went my way.”<\/p>\n

Carey was also asked if he is a ‘walker’ – the tradition where some batters leave the field without waiting for a decision if they believe they have hit the ball. <\/p>\n

He joked “clearly not” in response.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
