The umpire will need to determine if,in his judgement ,the fielder had held the ball long enough to prove complete control (qouting the ASA rule).The ASA rule also states It is not a catch , if the fielder,collides with another player,umpire or a fence,or falls to the ground and drops the ball as a result of the collision or falling to the ground (voluntary release).There is no mention of time here.There is no time test.
