That's right - no player has to walk, and doubt can arise if a ball has carried to a player or not.

Hussey was out the other night, the fault was with the umpire not Hussey, umpires are paid to get things right.

I think once an umpire has made up his mind though, a challenge should not be allowed mistakes however annoying have to be lived with.
Lessen the authority of the umpire, and the game will be changed for the worse IMO.
