In Cricket, in the longest format; test matches, each team gets 2 challenges per 80 overs. They have to use them properly, if they don't they're out of them and cannot review a wrongful decision the rest of the day.
If you want to use technology then get rid of umpires. Otherwise, I agree with Slava, let the games happen, have a 3rd eye in the sky and if an umpire blatantly messes up, tell them to fix it right away.
They should be trying to shorten games not extend them. But knowing these leagues, soon the challenges will be sponsored.

Tennis is the absolute worst. 3 incorrect challenges per set is a lot (although it only takes a few seconds)
Baseball is not bad. Only 1 incorrect challenge allowed in the first 6 innings although the process takes too long. I think you have to challenger within 30 seconds. (and I miss manager/umpire arguments)
NFL they still don't know what a catch is so replay is pointless.
