I don't like that aspect of DRS. Happy with it to reverse howlers but don't think Australia should lose a review for something just clipping like that, just to use the Haddin wicket as an example

The umpire made the call. Umpires call is about respecting the umpires call just as players were expected to do before drs. It was out with or without drs. Drs is there to overturn howlers and it wasn't overturned because it wasn't a howler.

Yes but you didn't read the point I am making

Not that it shouldn't be out, but on the really close ones (ie its umpires call not three reds) the team making the review shouldn't lose one of two reviews on it

Why not ? Because it's close ? Not exactly a challenge to a howler if it's borderline more a fingers crossed exercise.

eg its just clipping leg stump. if given not out it stays not out. umpire lifts finger, challenge, stays out. Don't beleive its right to penalise the challenging team in addition to the wicket

DRS is for howlers. You challenge a marginal decision you deserve to lose one if you're wrong. You take the risk you pay the penalty.
