    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.
