How did the latest rule of ICC Zuid -Africa cost a six in the 3rd ODI vs Aus?
A controversial incident took place during the 47th of the innings of Australia in the third ODI against South Africa in Mackay when Cameron Green, at 84, hit, Wian Mulder struck to Lang. Dewald Brevisstationed on the border, took a stunning catch but was forced over the rope. In an attempt to save the resignation, Brevis threw the ball back in the game, jumped outside the border again and brought it back to the playing field. While South Africa believed he had performed a legal limit. However, the referees have awarded six points to Green.
What is the new rule of ICC for such catches?
According to the updated ICC and MCC playing conditions, a field player who makes contact with the ball in the field for the first time can only touch it once while you are outside the border rope. To make a second attempt, the player has to land back in the field before he goes with the ball again. Because Brevis touched the ball outside the rope without making himself in the field and did not return to the field before he made contact again, the act was considered invalid and Green’s Scot counted as a six.

Why was this rule introduced?
The rule was made after a controversial moment in the Big Bash League 2023, when Michael Neser of Brisbane Heat completed a juggling effort outside the rope and claimed a catch. At the time, the resignation was published, but it led to debates about the spirit of the game. To simplify a border agreement, the ICC has revised its laws, in force from 2024.
The statement had a direct impact on the match. Instead of being fired in the 1980s, Green survived and went his first ODI in only 47 balls, the second fastest by an Australian. His 118* led Australia to 431/2, with centuries also from Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh. In answer, the Proteas were bundled for only 155. This was in particular the toughest defeat of South Africa in ODIs with 276 points, although they still claimed the 2-1 series.
