Cricket really has taken a turn for the worse, just too damn technical, he had control of the ball for long enough, end of story.
The Starc one during the Ashes was ridiculous.
But he let the ball touch the ground while his body was still motion from taking the catch.
If that's a catch then why have slips fielders always got their hands under the ball for the last 100+yrs?
He did not “let” the ball touch the ground, he had 100% control of the ball before landing.
There is no comparison here to a slips catch, none whatsoever.
The new bullshit rule is a joke, I’m glad it was paid, I’d rather that paid than the ridiculous catch Neser took last season when he was tapping it up behind the donut van.
He needed to use his hand to control his body, therefore he let the ball touch the ground
