No, which is stupid given the reasoning used was “inconclusive evidence”

I have no idea. Even CricInfo is giving misleading data.
Would be dire to lose a review for that given there was no HawkEye.

But Cricinfo is claiming they do (which frankly would only be fair), although it would have been obviously not out had it gone through to Hawkeye
channel 7 are talking about it right now with Taufel who said it was lost

Is it?
I was watching the second Eng vs Pak game recently and the 3rd ump decided not to change a grab down leg (don't remember the batsman but the bowler was Wood) when it looked certain to touch the ground because the soft signal was out
3rd umpire was Joel Wilson btw
Cricinfo has chanaged Australia to 2 reviews in line with this

Whatever it takes!!!
Its not supposed to matter. I think Wilson went with the older interpretation but there has been a recent rule change. The soft signal is only supposed to be taken into account if they dont get the right camera angles or if there are technical glitches and you dont get the replays. That sort of thing. As long as you get a reasonable amount of angles, the 3rd umpire is basically expected to make their own call.
The rule change is good. Just think Wilson ****ed up interpreting it properly.

I think the reviews are retained only on what are considered defined umpire's calls which really only exists for LBWs. So for caught behind or caught others appeals, you either retain it if the batsman is ruled out or you dont retain it if they are ruled not out.
It should be changed coz when the 3rd umpire literally says "I dont have conclusive evidence to overturn the dismissal" it should count as an umpire's call. I guess the issue is basically the 3rd umpire says that almost everytime when they are NOT overruling the onfield call.

Didn’t they go upstairs on an lbw which they lost? I wasn’t watching at the time but I thought I heard one of the comms say they’d reviewed something which pitched outside leg?

Never went through to ball tracking. 3rd ump reckoned he couldn’t tell if it hit the bat, cos he’s an idiot.
