@hydro11 You'd presumably also need to include slip catches and catches at short leg and otherwise close to the wicket in your reviewable list. I also think - anecdotally - since the DRS was introduced, that umpires have realized that spinners actually get lot more lbws than they were previously given - so there's been a change in how those are umpired.
Obviously, there's tactical situations where you might as well just "review and hope", but I thought it would be a bit "Aspergersy" to list them all.
@Bovidae In ODIs I think my rule applies even more. Good policy call from Kane - even though technically it wasn't a good call!
That's true. It's quite rare that I see a slip catch reviewed. Slip catches aren't such an issue because most of them happen early in an innings anyway (or after a 2nd new ball is taken). Catch at short leg is possible in India, I suppose. Most of the time I don't see the point in not reviewing with two reviews left. A caught behind should be an obvious call so you should be fine. I just can't remember an instance of a batting team in test cricket running out of reviews and that team being negatively affected by it. I'm sure it's happened but it's rare. There are plenty of examples when a not out batsman doesn't review.
Shane Watson got a lot of stick for always going for reviews but other batsmen have probably cost their team more by not going for reviews.

I should also point out that the actual number is probably a fair bit lower than 30% of wickets being reviewable. A few lbw wickets come from a player being given not out and the fielding side challenging. In that situation obviously the batsman doesn't have to make a decision to review.

We've got two of them, in case you'd forgotten, you bitter, bitter little man.
Meanwhile your last Cricket World Cup win was?
Ouch, take it easy Nick, did you miss the comments before mine, pretty sure several used nasty bitter name calling.

Kohli carelessly throwing his wicket away symptomatic of their whole approach?
They'll learn quickly. Doubt he will do that again with this total
