What decisions do the umpires need to call for in cricket?
An umpire’s call comes into play when the third umpire cannot conclusively decide one of the three aspects of a LBW decision; ball pitch, ball impact and whether ball would have hit the wickets. In such cases, the third umpire sticks with the on-field umpire’s decision and it is known as umpire’s call.

Do umpires call fair?
The umpire’s call simply means that the on-field umpire is given the benefit of a doubt for their original verdict on a leg-before-wicket (LBW) that was challenged and reviewed. This after the third umpire concludes that the original decision was too marginal to be adjudicated otherwise after the review.
Do reviews reset after 80 overs?
