Umpiring decisions can be contested.

At last, the highly conservative ICC officials have decided to be practical and allow the technology to be used in cricket matches.

For the forth coming tour of India to Sri Lanka, players are allowed to appeal against the umpiring verdicts if they feel he might have got it wrong.

Though, the initial rules concerning this arrangement are a bit confusing, I am glad the first step has been taken.

Just to keep the human elements of the game, why should a bowler or a batsman suffer on a wrong decision by the on-field umpire? A player's career may at stake when he is handed down a wrong decision due to human error.

Thank you ICC.
