Neser took the catch on the boundary line to dismiss Sydney Sixer’s Jordan Silk which turned the sport on the Gabba in Brisbane.

Speaking to FOX sports activities Hazelwood stated, “I didn’t like it all,”.

“I think it should be back to the old rule where you have to be in the field of play and that’s your last step before you throw it back in. It was something different and ‘Ness’ is pretty cluey with the rules. It worked for them last night.” He added.

This is fascinating.

Hazelwood concerning the consciousness of the rule stated “Players are definitely aware of the rule. I’m not sure when [the rule] changed, but it was a few years back.”

In addition to that Melbourne Stars participant Trent Boult gave his opinion “I didn’t realise that was the rule,” Boult stated.

“I feel it would want addressing; I’ve seen a few feedback saying ‘what is the point of a boundary rope?’ and ‘can you keep hopping around the field of play?’ Boult added.

Referring to the catch he has taken earlier than Boult stated “I’ve got to be careful because I may have taken one like that at one point …”

“I think it’s a tough one, but to make it clear, I think you should have to touch the field of play again once you come back over the rope.” Boult added.

ICC has shared an explainer through which they talked about, “It is important to note that as long as the fielder’s first touch of the ball is inside the boundary line, they are allowed to finish the catch however they like, provided their feet are not grounded with the ball over the boundary. Neser’s initial contact with the ball, the timing of his jump and the eventual catch were all within the laws of the game, the batter was correctly declared out.”
