But at 0.44 is he still holding the ball?

Exactly, ball is released at that split second.

Actually it's 0.42 seconds when his left foot touches the blue DP world hoarding.

yeh agree. kettleborough is saying 'that's in, that's still in' from an awful angle. i'll take the win but come on

The 3rd umpire has a a better view than your tinted eyesight.

He can take whole year for that review lol If that skirting is unmoved that is a legit catch. This is a legit catch.

there's two issues here. one the umpire deciding a WC final on the worst possible angle, which was my first reaction at the time. second, i'm afraid the rope does look like it moved.

There is no angle going to be good  Optical illusion will fool you. That is why they use skirt movement as an indicator.

Benefit goes to fielder right?

This is legit out. So there is no benefit smhenifit coming into picture

The video linked in the wisden page ..there was a flicker..which could happen if there is vibration from the feet...it definitely moved but that does not make the catch illegitimate .catch becomes a 6 if his feet touched...which is not clear.

Yeah he's transferring the ball from left to his right hand

Are u sure he’s touching the rope. Because with this video and angle you can’t prove it. 

After watching the live footage ..

1: the live footage was the only one that showed the overhead shot. There was quite a large gap between his foot and the rope when he first caught the ball. In the slow motion link shared here, even that looks close but it’s not.

 

2: There was absolutely no movement of the rope that can be visualized both live and in slow motion. Furthermore. the position of the rope stayed the same even after releasing the ball. 

 

Hence definitely can’t be proved that he touched the rope.

Ponting says believe the fielder and Sky says it is out!

Arrey, there is no movement, you see the reflect of the foot in the hoarding and in that angle you can’t frucking prove 100% , stfu and enjoy the win

Exactly with the momentum he  had  would have definitely moved the rope massively if he had even slightly touched.

Is there a way to block this thread lol Not even Pak fans raise this as an issue

[R!TTER]

There's some grass being displaced just before he throws the ball in the air, but again zero movement of the "boundary" & at that momentum it's nearly impossible for it to move 0.1mm to deceive the human eye.

Already enjoyed it. Would have enjoyed it more without this tainted sh1t.

It was a clean catch. No evidence to challenge this. Countless such catches have taken place in T20 leagues around the World and the general rules applied in all are the same. Unless there is clear evidence of fielder having touched the rope, such decisions are always given as OUT, which was the case here as well.
