Cricket Players can challenge Empire’s decision, first time MIL/Agencies/H.Tribune, Jun 16, 2008. New Delhi, India: June 16, 2008 - Cricket players can now challenge the decision of the empire, the first trial is to happen in India's test cricket tour of Sri Lanka starting next month. The Board of Control for Cricket in India said on Monday that it had agreed to play the series under the experimental rules allowing cricketers to ask for a TV umpire to review decisions made on the field by either of the two on-field umpires. Each team will be permitted to seek the review, using TV replays, of three decisions each innings. The TV umpire's verdict can then result in the original decision by the onfield umpire being overturned. If the review results in the reversal of a decision, that team will be allowed an additional appeal. The rule will apply to all modes of dismissals except 'Timed Out' where a batsman is given out for taking too long to reach at the crease. Under existing conditions, an on-field umpire can refer a decision to the TV umpire if there is any doubt over line decisions or catches. The International Cricket Council gave its consent earlier in the year to a trial, but the experimental rules were put on hold because teams could not previously agree on the trial. The system is similar to the challenge system used in tennis, where players are permitted — tv equipment permitting — a restricted number of reviews on line decisions each set.
