I always listen when he speaks as he’s got the gadgets to measure moisture, whereas I’ve got just my eye and know what I’ve put on or has fallen from the sky

There's nothing wrong with the technology.
It was operator error.

Shame about that :)
Well we need the same operator error during the rest of the match; would that be fair?
 
an okay days bat. wish green/marnus didn't go out so cheaply playing the same dumbass shot. real question marks about green in my eyes now, too easy to dismiss

So Carey was out and the snicko operator conveniently chose the wrong stump mic, hence the mismatched audio…

If it was the incorrect stump mic for audio processing why did the spike occur before the ball got to the bat? How could the wrong stump preempt the sound?

If it was up the other end, the sound on snicko would have been something other than the nick.
 
Imagine if Australia ends up winning this by the number of runs Carey made after the Snicko reprieve. Can you imagine the melts from the English if the result was bang on?
They can have this test match if they give us the Stokes test match that was won off of the incompetence of one of the worst umpires in test cricket history

What was everyone watching, ball didn't look anywhere close to the bat. Random noise before the ball even gets close. Why does everyone obsess over snico when the vision showed it wasn't near the bat?

Good to know the 3rd umpire posts here.

As I said at the time, it seemed very unprofessional the way the ump went through the process. Just almost immediately declared 'clear gap' like he was a nuffie on Bigfooty, when that was clearly not true.

He couldn't have overturned this particular decision due to operator error, so that's the major issue here. It's just that the 3rd umpires routinely seem out of their depth. It was always more likely than not that Carey hit it.

Snicko has been problematic recently and at the very least this incident should make 3rd umpires more diligent. Should. But won't.
