I seem to remember a story about a player in the WI v England in the sixties, having his appeal withdrawn. So there are precedents. But I understood that the rule was that you were out once you leave the playing area, which is why players pause and wait inside the rope for decisions to be referred. Cricket often seems to make up exceptions as it pleases though.

I wasnt disagreeing with anything you say, simply saying that not only did he leave the field, but there was a tea interval inbetween the decision being given and withdrawn.
