Players can ask questions on umpiring decisions -(See details)?

ICC is planning to make few changes, after the Ponting incident, a month ago. Dave Richardson heads a committee that plans to make amendments that let a team to ask questions on an umpire’s decision & refer it to the Third umpire. A fixed quota will be allotted for each team (not sure if it’s for each player)

1) Would this remove the human element of the game? The human element in a game brings added excitement.
2) Referring decisions means it takes so much time from the playing hours. How can ICC compensate this lost time- reducing the number of overs in a 50 over game?
3) According to stats released (every single match played is reviewed & umpire’s decisions are evaluated) an average of almost 94% decisions are true! So do we still need this?

Sorry this question took so long. I should have asked this atleast couple of weeks ago! I don’t have the latest info on this topic. Maybe I

mystery pua
