If it is going to be used, it should be used every single time. To limit its use is a travesty, simply ridiculous.
It gives perference to some batsmen over others i fteh referrals have been used by earlier batsmen. It will influence players averages depending on their position in the batting order.
What will be the long term implications ?
Will the batsman getting reprieved lead to higher scoring games and possibly more draws ?
Will umpires give more not out decisions because they won't want to be shown up as being wrong ?
What will happen when an umpire is shown to be regularly wrong on lineball decisions ?
Any thoughts on these possibilities, or any others you can think of ?

It's not just batsmen that can use it, though. The bowling team gets it as well...
