The fielding side won't lose their review if they are on the wrong side of an umpires call.
Also a player will no longer be given out on a bouncing bat - that's were a player dives in and makes his ground but the bat bobbles up with the momentum.
Always felt that was harsh.
I agree with the bouncing bat one
hate the umpires call change.............. makes a mockery of the 'preventing the howler' reasoning for DRS and shows what can be achieved when you pile enough pressure onto the authorities, for long enough. Now that they've got the umpires call rule changed, they'll start calling for unlimited reviews.............. and eventually they'll get them..... and this at a time when there are suggestions that the game should be speeded up in order to hot 4 day test matches. Crikey, they'll have to start a 4 day test at 9am and finish at midnight just to get 105 overs in thanks to all the reviews for every decision that a team or captain doesn't agree with.... or in actuality.... all the decisions that they think they might get away with if they just review everything
'Tis a slippery slope
and a nonsense
