The rules is the rules. Its like the Starc 'catch' in England. He put the ball on the ground before he was in control of his body. So that's that.
The rules is the rules, I’m stating why I hate the rule. Most hated that Starc catch wasn’t given out. I’d change the rule to say “did the players hand control the ball sufficiently” before falling and “did they stay within the field of play”. Soccer changed the handball rule to allow a player to put their hand down to the ground as they fall. Surely cricket can do the same.

But the rules is the rules. And I hate this one.
Just like every poster who complains that DRS umpires not-out calls on lbw rulings should be given out. The rule says it’s umpires call, but some hate it.
Just like every poster who complained when Stuart Broad didn’t walk when he nicked it to first slip, and the umpire didn’t give him out. The rule says that the umpire gave it not out, so that’s the rules. But we hated it.
Just like every Englishman on Carey’s stumping of Bairstow.
Just like every South African when they “dropped the World Cup” or when rain left them with 22 to win off 1 ball.
Just like every fan ever when the umpires go off for bad light based on the same light readings as previous days.
The rules.
