Adelaide, December 18:
Australian fast bowler Mitchell Starc criticised the snickometer technology, calling it the “worst technology ever” after a series of controversial decisions during the ongoing Test match between Australia and England at Adelaide Oval. Starc expressed frustration as the ultra-edge system repeatedly went against bowlers, affecting crucial dismissals and match momentum.
The comments sparked debate among players and fans alike, with many questioning the reliability of ball-tracking and edge-detection technologies in cricket. Analysts noted that while snickometer and DRS technologies are intended to enhance umpiring accuracy, inconsistencies can create tensions on the field, especially in high-stakes Test matches. Starc’s remark underscores ongoing discussions about balancing technology use with human judgment in cricket.
