Went through all of this with the infamous Mitch Starc catch. Though I'd regard him as being in the field regardless, you said "completing". He'd only complete the catch once he is both in full control of the ball and his body, hence when he is back on the ground.

As per the Law 19.5.2 it would appear the where your last point of contact was does seem to mean something.
 
fielder was in, took the catch but did not have controll thew the ball up in the air, was outside of the field and then caught the ball before landing.

I understand how the wording on the rule can be confusing, but ultimately while in the air the fielder is not in or out of play until they land. if the fielder lands inside play and tehn proceed to drop the ball it will not be a six nor a wicket.
but in this case the fielder landed inside and kept controll of the ball, thus it was out and not a six.

I understand what you are saying. I just think these laws were penned when fielders were less agile. Might be time to make it all a bit clearer.

You get those guys in the squads while Dave is still around so they can learn.
That is what India has done with Jaiswal, didn't play a game this WC but would have learned from Virat & Rohit.

The guys probably being looked at as succesors are brevis and Don ferreira.
