Perth Stadium was filled with English boos as Smith left the field.
The relevant section of the International Cricket Council’s Conditions of Play, which implements the structures of the Test cricket review system, is as follows:

The third official may not give answers that convey probabilities or probabilities.”
Sharafdoula clearly saw otherwise.
He explained to BBC Sport that the technology used in Australia has a two-frame gap between the images and the sound wave.
Speaking on 7 Cricket, former international umpire Simon Toffel said: “Conclusive evidence protocols with the RTS [Real Time Snickometer] -If you get up to one frame after the putt, that’s crucial. And in this particular case, that’s exactly what was there.
“Unfortunately, it is [Sharfuddoula] He didn’t want to pull the trigger as quickly as he could have or should have.
“The guys in the truck were doing their best to get it up and slow it down and try to shake that tire and roll it.
“For me, the right decision was made. The RTS goes up after one frame after the at-bat, the hitter should go.”
“When Jimmy Smith saw that, he was leaving,” Vaughan said.
“His reaction was not that of someone who is disgusted by this decision.
He added: “He is a calm man, but there was not much dissatisfaction with the English duo.”
