Hasn't the rule or interpretation changed so the player has to make a genuine attempt to keep it in?
At least it's a bit easier to rule upon than deliberate and a step in the right direction but still not as good as the last touch rule IMHO.
You are on the money I think, was one paid last night and the umpire said exactly that , you didnt make a genuine attempt to keep it in, cant wait to see that interpretation at a boundary throw in when the ruckman smashes it straight back out
