third umpire









































the third umpire (or tv umpire) is an off-field umpire in international cricket matches who makes the final decision in questions referred to him by the two on-field umpires. television replays and other technology are available to the third umpire to assist him in coming to a decision. an on-field umpire can, at his own discretion, use a radio link to refer any close decision concerning dismissals (catches, runouts or stumpings) or boundaries to the third umpire. also players can initiate reviews of particular decisions by the on-field umpires, which are judged by the third umpire.
