I'm OK with it, fwiw. I remember England playing a series in the WI back in 2009 where the previous rules, iirc, basically said that if there was any doubt the batsman wasn't out. The result, what seemed like lots of LBWs overturned because the ball was only seen to be clipping the stumps. The current system avoids that sort of nonsense, and if the 3rd umpire got ti wrong with the Smith wicket, that's a separate matter.

As for the limit to the number of reviews, only if it's umpire's call. If not, I'm happy with them losing it. I could envisage situation where it was simply a time-wasting tactic otherwise.

Yeah I couldn't remember specifics but the system was trash in that series and that's why we wound up not using it in the Ashes that year I believe
