No-ball Drama In Boxing Day Test Fuels Fresh Ashes Controversy

By IANS News December 26, 2025 • 12:04 PM View: 795

The opening day of the Boxing Day Test witnessed a controversy involving the third umpire once again when Brydon Carse dismissed Mitchell Starc on an alleged no ball.

When Australia were reeling at 142/7, Starc miscued lofted drive and was caught by Ben Stokes running back from mid-off. The MCG crowd thought Carse had bowled a no-ball when the side-on replay flashed up.
