What if what he is jumping in the air he throws the ball backwards and a teammate catches it. Would that be a dismissal?

If the fielder jumps from outside the boundary, throws the ball back, and it's caught. That means it's not out. If the fielder jumps from inside, throws it back mid-air, and it's caught, it's out.

Yes that's what I meant. If he jumps from inside and his momentum is carrying him over the boundary so he throws it back for his teammate to catch. It could be a defensive strategy. The next closest fielder can run to be his backup while the ball is in the air in case he needs to throw it back.

Yes. In simple, once a player goes outside the boundary, they can't touch the ball again. Everything must be done from inside boundary. 😄

This type of catching is invalid now.

Haha. That's a funny catch. But he could throw it back to his teammate which is what I was referring to. You might as well try because if not it is 6 points. If you throw it back and it falls to the ground you still hold them probably to 3 or 4.
