"The DRS technology in use in Australia was widely criticised on day one after Alex Carey had been wrongly reprieved by the third umpire after feathering a catch to Jamie Smith on 72. The culprit in that case appears to have been operator error involving a mismatch of sound-wave and picture frame selection. On Thursday Smith himself was also given not out in mid-afternoon despite Australia being convinced he had gloved a bouncer from Pat Cummins."
"It's not an ideal scenario, Trescothick said at close of play. Of course, we've been on the back end of some poor ones yesterday, and a few ones that you sort of question over the course of today. So it's up for the powers that be behind the scenes to try and work that out, but as players, we've just got to trust in the process of what the ICC [International Cricket Council], the match referees, the umpires and everybody officiating on this game."
DRS technology in use in Australia produced operator errors, including mismatches between sound-wave and picture-frame selection, leading to wrongly overturned decisions and a reprieved Alex Carey. Jamie Smith was twice involved in contentious decisions: initially reprieved and later given not out despite Australia believing he had gloved a Pat Cummins bouncer, then dismissed on review after toe-ending another short ball amid further audio-picture spike uncertainty. Stump mic audio captured Mitchell Starc calling for Snicko's removal, and Marnus Labuschagne questioned whether Smith required a concussion check. England reached 213 for eight chasing Australia's 371, under pressure to salvage the series.
