A controversial umpiring decision marred the Boxing Day Ashes Test as Mitchell Starc was dismissed on an alleged no-ball. Replays suggested the bowler, Brydon Carse, may have overstepped the crease, but the third umpire upheld the dismissal. This decision, witnessed by a record MCG crowd, sparked debate among former Australian players who questioned the ruling. Australia was bowled out for 152, with England struggling at 62/4.
