the whole thing could be just gossip which has reached the ref

and he's just checking that

eg the third umpire may have had sound, and he'll tell the ref that, and that'll be that.

Or the third umpire may usually not have sound, and there was nothing unusual about this.

or they may be going to talk to the ref about something else entirely

Much too soon to be sure there was any conspiracy.

But as I say, if there was, I reckon it'd be a good thing, 'cos it'll mean the ICC sort the review system out once and for all, and bring in the same rules for all tests.
