My feeling was I got a touch - Carey on overturned decision.

Australian gloveman Alex Carey stated he felt he had feathered the ball when he was overturned on DRS during day one of the third Ashes Test versus England.

Following his reprieve on 72, Carey crafted a excellent 106 to aid the hosts finish on 326-8 at the end of play in Adelaide.

The Key Moment

Australia were 245 for 6 when Carey went for a cut shot to the bowling of Josh Tongue.

The England team were convinced they had a wicket, thinking they had heard an nick, but umpire Ahsan Raza remained unconvinced.

After skipper Ben Stokes referred the decision, the footage reviewed by TV umpire Chris Gaffaney displayed a significant spike however this registered prior to the ball had reached the bat.

Gaffaney further stated he believed there was a space between the bat and the ball.

As a result, Carey was given not out.

"There was a sound, I thought I'd nicked it," commented Carey.

"Being given out would have prompted a review, though not a confident one. It was a nice sound as it passed the bat."

Controversial 'Snicko'

Discussion has swirled about 'Snicko'' during the Ashes contest after a number of unclear moments.

Bowling coach David Saker hinted England may escalate this latest incident further with match referee Jeff Crowe.

"So far we've let it go, but this might push us to take action," Saker said.

"We've had doubts about it throughout. The focus should be on cricket, not technology failures. That's where we are."

Personal Milestone

His hundred was his first in Test cricket against England.

It was also an heartfelt moment for Carey, whose father died in recent months. His spouse was crying in the crowd as the batter marked the occasion by glancing upward.

"To make a hundred here in front of home fans and family was special," stated Carey.

"I guess you know as well why I was looking to the heavens. I'm fighting back the tears. But, no, it was great."

Not New to Furore

Carey has been at the centre of Ashes debate before.

He was the wicketkeeper who notoriously stumped Jonny Bairstow at Lord's in the 2023 Ashes series, leading to a heated final day.

Speaking about his survival he added: "The sound wave didn't match up. It is just the way cricket goes - sometimes you have a bit of luck."

"Maybe it went my way."
