And that is where the momentary vs complete control comes in.

195 the target, with the pitch only seeming to flatten out a bit relative to earlier in the match

I mean you are controlling the ball or not and there's no other state really.

Webster doesn't dispose of his body.......?
The MCC law is:
33.3 Making a catch
The act of making a catch shall start from the time when the ball first comes into contact with a fielder’s person and shall end when a fielder obtains complete control over both the ball and his/her own movement.
Webster is not in complete control of his own movement when he releases the ball, just like Gibbs. It's nothing to do with complete control of the ball. it's to do with his body still being in movement

Nah, he definitely was. Why would you think he wasn't? He didn't stumble, fall, overbalance. He was in complete control

I heard Scott Boland pulled up a bit sore and we're going to sub in Harry Dixon for tomorrow

Don't be silly. Dixon bowls offies, not a like for like. Ben Rohrer will have to come out of retirement.

Ollie Peake has had an ok season but he did play a pressure innings and against SA too, and the game is heading in his direction.

Nah there is a time factor and there is an act of completing a catch, just like there is an act of completing a shot or completing delivering a ball.

the MCC position is if you're still in the middle of diving, you're not in control of your body movement and therefore you haven't completed a catch yet. beau webster was still in the middle of his tumble roll when he throws away the ball, so he hadn't completed the catch before releasing the ball, therefore not out. luckily, it's very easy for every player to avoid this problem, they can simply hold onto the ball.
I just hope GAS is passing this discussion onto the South Australian fielders. you'd hate for Victoria to win the shield by one wicket because a fielder carelessly throws away the ball in celebration before they've completed a catch

You either complete it or you don't. All the preceding processes lead up to one of those two outcomes.

Havnt Victoria already won the shield irrespective of the outcome?
