Or we could just can the deliberate kick altogether.
If you are skilful enough to bounce the ball inside the lines, then a throw in ensues, thats a genuine tactic to help get out of defense and prevent repeat entries.
Yes Thry, a kick out of defence that landed millimeters inside the boundary line before bouncing out was a sublime skill, particularly when it was disguised as a miss-kick.
I think I’d prefer no deliberate out of bounds to the last kick rule. However, umpires should be able to determine blatantly deliberate out of bounds. That would be better than the current “insufficient intent” interpretation.
