Stupid change to this rule as it benefits the oppo when you have only 9 batsmen. Can't they use the 12th man or have the oppo nominate the runner?

Just saw the Starc catch , Surley the ump who made that decision is umpiring in Scotland next week
I've heard everything now, was in complete control of the ball but disallowed because he was not in control of his body
the Marylebone Cricket Club, which is the custodian of cricket’s laws, issued a statement in support of umpire Erasmus.
“In relation to the below incident, Law 33.3 clearly states that a catch is only completed when the fielder has ‘complete control over the ball and his/her own movement.’ The ball cannot touch the ground before then,” the statement said. “In this particular incident, Mitchell Starc was still sliding as the ball rubbed the ground, therefore he was not in control of his movement.”
Pommies played the smart arses when Lyon was batting especially that Ben Smoakes idiot, but now they're 4 for and should be all out before today ends. Karma.
Agree. Just stupid as it benefits the other team. Same logic as any SHocking creation.
There's nothing better than seeing that middle stump smashed by our fast bowlers. Well done Starc.
Is sHocking and the fARCe in England?I've heard everything now, was in complete control of the ball but disallowed because he was not in control of his body
