Well, Well, Well
You can prefer whatever mechanic you want but you will not only look like a tool for hammering a strike three not legally caught, but you will find yourself having to explain your screwed mechanic to Mr Skipper when he asks you why you SIGNALED his batter out (by hammering strike 3) while at the same time verbally saying he's not out (by saying no catch and giving a safe mechanic). Perhaps you went to the Doug Eddings School of Umpiring????
Come on SA Ump, you have to admit that hammering a dropped third strike and then following it up with a safe mechanic looks pretty f*cked up
