Pat Cummins has claimed Snicko technology lacks consistency compared to other decision review systems deployed outside of Australia. The issue arose when Australia wicket keeper, Alex Carey, appeared to have been caught behind the stumps by fellow gloveman Jamie Smith. Carey, who would go on to score a century, later admitted that he thought he had nicked a delivery from Josh Tongue behind. A day later, Jamie Smith was involved in two contentious reviews, the first of which left a fuming Mitchell Starc calling for Snicko to be ‘sacked’. Smith was later given out following a review, after appearing to edge a delivery from Cummins behind to Carey.
