My thoughts on the #BBL catch. It is the law and I think it's a good one. The issue wasn't the law. It was that there was so much room outside the boundary.
If the rope wasn't in so close, that would have been an easy catch.

The idea that somehow bringing in the ropes is good for cricket is completely bizarre. The administrators need to stop homogenising cricket.
Some grounds should have big boundaries. Others should have short ones. Asymmetric boundaries are good, not bad.

Having differing boundary sizes results in better captaincy, better bowling, and better batting. It's a bad idea to keep bringing in the boundaries.
Have a 2-3m safety zone between the boundary route and the physical boundary. But no more than that.
The law is fine.

If that catch was taken by a boundary that wasn't roped in massively, that catch would have never been possible. And the law that exists would have been perfectly adequate.
Let's not change the laws around boundary catches to try to fix problems caused by bad ground layouts.
