Snicko has been a point of confusion and controversy during this Ashes series and there was a fresh talking point on the first day in Adelaide as Australia’s century hero Alex Carey escaped England’s vociferous appeal and review, before later admitting he should have been given out.
Carey was on 72 when he tried to cut a Josh Tongue delivery which bounced across the left hander. England’s slip cordon were convinced they heard a noise and appealed immediately, but umpire Ahsan Raza was unmoved.
