Karma says hi Pommies

Not really in the spirit of the game but when you've cheated out of a dismissal the day before, don't expect any favours from the opposition when you switch off and walk out of your crease before the call of over.
Lol
What a load of rubbish
Interesting when Nathan Lyon comes out in support of it being the correct decision
As for the Bairstow dismissal .. ranks with mankads in spirit of the game discussions .. but stiff poo Johnny, off you go .. but to think Starc’s catch decision played any role is laughable
And Glenn McGrath called the not out decision a "disgrace".

Just like the AFL, former players can be openly honest and critical unlike current players who have to toe the line.
Yep
And plenty have rightly called out Glenn McGrath for being wrong and needing to learn the rules of the game
Below should help explain

Two wrongs don't make a right. That was a clean catch too. What's the bowler meant to do in that situation when he is diving forward? Smash his face into the turf so his hands don't hit the ground? 
Neither of them are wrong
It’s the rule!!!
It isn’t cheating and it isn’t correct
I’m not saying I love the rule , but it’s the rule, and both decisions are 100% correct
Calling it cheating is laughable
It's the interpretation of that rule that is wrong. This was never an issue until the TV umpire became overlord. That rule is meant to be for instances where a running fielder catches the ball in play (has ball control) but his momentum causes him to step on or over the rope (body not in control) which is of course not out and 4 runs. It's not meant to be used for situations where the hand with the ball after a clean controlled catch touches the ground because the fielder has dived or slid forward to take a catch.
33.2.1 A catch will be fair only if, in every case
either the ball, at any time
or any fielder in contact with the ball,
is not grounded beyond the boundary before the catch is completed. Note Laws 19.4 (Ball grounded beyond the boundary) and 19.5 (Fielder grounded beyond the boundary).
19.4.2 The ball in play is to be regarded as being grounded beyond the boundary if:
- a fielder, after catching the ball within the boundary, becomes grounded beyond the boundary while in contact with the ball, before completing the catch.
33.3 Making a catch
The act of making a catch shall start from the time when the ball first comes into contact with a fielder’s person and shall end when a fielder obtains complete control over both the ball and his/her own movement.
33.2.2 Furthermore, a catch will be fair if any of the following conditions applies:
33.2.2.1 the ball is held in the hand or hands of a fielder, even if the hand holding the ball is touching the ground, ...
