BBG Sports, the company that owns Snicko, has accepted culpability for the mistake.

"Given that Alex Carey admitted he had hit the ball in question, the only conclusion that can be drawn from this, is that the Snicko operator at the time must have selected the incorrect stump mic for audio processing," BBG told BBC Sport.

"In light of this, BBG Sports takes full responsibility for the error."

But there was a difference between the sound and picture in the previous test too.

On that occasion the third umpire gave it out anyway, this time he didn’t.

As always with these things it’s the inconsistency which is frustrating.

The Aussies (with 2 notable exceptions) throwing away wickets England style today.
 

If we can nip out the tail without much further damage this is a below par score. Then we have to FUCKING BAT PROPERLY and keep the convicts in the field for two days.

Dropping Khawaja when he was on 5, then him going on to score 82- it's this kind of thing that usually ends up being costly.

Carey should have been given out on 72 but the Snicko operators got it wrong. They also got it wrong - again in the convicts' favour - when Smith was given out in the first Test

Same old Aussies etc etc

Catches win matches and England dropped another today, costing 80 runs.

Yeah it was a straightforward grab as well. We did hold on to two pearlers as well, to be fair.

If Carey knew he had hit it, should he not walk?

Those days have gone I’m afraid.

They crucified Broad for the same thing. Bet they’re a bit quieter about this one.

Finely poised. First hour tonight is big. Skittle them quickly and we should look to keep them out there 4-5 sessions and wear them down and take a healthy lead. I fear if we dont and have to chase 4th innings against Lyon.

If they add 50-60 as Starc can do and momentum shifts, I hope we've enough beligerence to see off the new ball.
