Australia Star Criticises 'Snicko', Gives Big Verdict On Yashasvi Jaiswal DRS Controversy

Australia wicketkeeper-batter Alex Carey on Wednesday reflected on India batter Yashasvi Jaiswal's controversial dismissal on Day 05 at the Melbourne Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy and said that the third umpire took the right decision. Australia clinched an 184-run victory over India at the Melbourne Test and took a 2-1 lead in the series, also ending India's chances of qualifying for the World Test Championship (WTC) Final at Lord's early next year. The decision by the third umpire Sharfuddoula on Yashasvi Jaiswal's dismissal on the final day of the fourth Test of the BGT series has left the world of cricket divided.

The controversial moment occurred on the fifth ball of the 71st over when Jaiswal tried to pull the ball away from Australian captain Pat Cummins. Australia appealed for the decision, but the on-field umpired turned them down. Cummins decided to take the decision upstairs, and that's where the controversial moment happened.

In the replay, the ball seemingly deflected on its way to wicketkeeper Alex Carey, but the snickometer didn't show any movement when the ball visibly appeared to be deflected off Jaiswal's gloves.

The third umpire felt the visual evidence was enough to deem Jaiswal out and asked the on-field umpire to overturn the decision.

Yashasvi scored 84 runs from 208 balls at a strike rate of 40.38. He slammed 8 fours during his time on the crease on Monday.

Speaking at the pre-match press conference, Carey said that the third umpire did a great job at the Melbourne Test. He added the snickometer has been funny at the ongoing BGT series.

"Yeah, I had no doubt. And I think the evidence was really clear that the third umpire made the correct decision. Yeah, Snicko's been a little bit funny in
