Not exactly accurate Twiz, as with media generally.

Carey says "I thought there was maybe a feather or some sort of noise."

Company for some reason then says "well because he said he hit it (he didn't say that) we must have goofed."

Sometimes eyes are the best tool. There was a noise. It wasn't an edge IMO there was clear air

I don't have a problem with conflicting opinions, that's why we have forums to discuss these things.

Each to their own.

Also if the look at the image on the right, alarm bells about sniko (or the ooperator) should have been raised there and then.

The company making a complete guess as to what happened and stating it as fact is more egregious than whatever stuff-up occurred

If the spike was from the sound being picked up at the non-strikers end, then it would have come after the ball passed the bat... unless there has been a quantum leap in physics I'm not aware of

I can't stand John Williamson. Call me unAustralian or whatever but f**k me he's awful.

Asterisk the Ashes and send Carey to the gulag.

Amazing how these “errors” always benefit Australia, they really have no shame.

England win the moral ashes 5-0 every time.


Always benefit Australia?

Umpires gifted you the 5th test in 2023 . Bit of a huge error there

Even your own lot said it made the difference

Cost us a series win

Where here you always get bent over

Starc 50 and carving up

Deck looks unbelievably easy for batting

Poms bowling wide helps

FFS Starc out !!!

England could have used this Archer in the first two tests. His pace has been good and he has kept it tight as well.

Stokes the only other keeping the scorecard quiet.

There is still a bit in this pitch if the poms can get it to do a bit off the seam.
