Stuart Broad calls for 'soft signal' to be scrapped after Conway incident

England fast bowler Stuart Broad urged the International Cricket Council to "do away now" with the 'soft signal' after feeling he had been denied a wicket by the current Decision Review System in the ongoing second Test against New Zealand. FOLLOW | Nevertheless, Broad, perhaps anxious to avoid disciplinary action from his father Chris, the ICC match referee for this Test, added he sympathised with the "really difficult situation" the umpires found themselves in with the 'soft signal'. Broad insisted the ICC should abolish the soft signal immediately as "the cons completely outweigh the pros". And when standing umpire Richard Kettleborough gave a 'soft signal' of not out, England's hopes of seeing off Conway right then faded.
