This is a community for the game of cricket. I don't know if there's one for bugs yet.

Transcription: A picture of a bat leaning against some stumps. Superimposed on it is a Tweet from Iceland Cricket: "Name a rule in cricket that should be changed immediately. Why?"

Degree of control is too hard to define. You should take away keeper catches where the ball doesn't deviate too much either in that case

You already have to have a degree of control to complete a catch (which is nothing to do with how much the ball deviates off the bat).

Umpires already have to make a lot of judgement calls in cricket. This would be no different.
