Australia wicketkeeper Alex Carey said he thought he edged the ball when he was given not out on review during day one of the third Ashes Test against England.
After surviving on 72, Carey went on to make a fine 106 to help the hosts reach 326-8 at the close in Adelaide.
The technology showed a large spike when England called for a review in the 63rd over but the TV pictures showed it coming before the ball had reached the bat.
"I thought there was a feather or some sort of noise when it passed the bat," said Carey.
"If I was given out I think I would have reviewed it, probably not confidently. It was a nice sound as it passed the bat."
There has been debate about 'Snicko', the technology used in such situations in Australia, throughout the series after a number of inconclusive incidents.
In the first Test in Perth, England wicketkeeper Jamie Smith was given out caught behind on review despite a spike coming after the ball had passed his bat and glove.
That was explained as being because the technology used in Australia has a two-frame gap between the pictures and the sound wave.
Bowling coach David Saker suggested England may escalate this latest incident further with match referee Jeff Crowe.
"I don't think we've done anything about it so far but after today, maybe that might go a bit further," Saker said.
"There have been concerns about it for the whole series. We shouldn't be talking about this after a day's play, it should just be better than that. It is what it is."
Carey is not new to Ashes controversy. He was the wicketkeeper who famously stumped Jonny Bairstow at Lord's in the 2023 series, resulting in a febrile final day.
On his reprieve he added: "Snicko obviously didn't line up. It is just the way cricket goes - sometimes you have a bit of luck.
"Maybe it went my way."
Carey was also asked if he is a 'walker' - the tradition where some batters leave the field without waiting for a decision if they believe they have hit the ball.
He joked "clearly not" in response.
