Another stupid cricket rule. The ball would have NEVER gone for a SIX.

It should be declared out because it would have been an EASY CATCH for
the wicket keeper or a fielder.

If the ball hits the roof close to the boundary, it's a different story.

Meh. It's a Big Bash rule. Each domestic comp will have its own rules.

DAFUQ.
Easy catch?
Have you ever tried to catch a high one?

No easy solution here. Dead Ball would piss people off. Auto-6 seems... not quite right.
KISS, though.

Yes I did.

9 out of 10 times, players/wicket keepers would take those catches
because of PLENTY OF TIME to adjust and anticipate.

Those HIGH catches near the pitch, wicket keeper and bowler are rarely
dropped in international matches.

Declaring them out is better than dead ball, because of the HIGH
PROBABILITY of fielders, wicket keeper successfully taking the catch
COMPARED to PROBABILITY of dropping the catch.
