In a recent game I was not quite ready to receive a serve when
the ball was served to me. I made no attempt whatsoever to
swipe at the ball with my bat (which was in my right hand). The ball
actually was travelling directly at my left hand and I instinctively
just caught it. The player doing the refereeing declared that
because I caught the ball, this disqualified me from being able
to claim that I was not ready and declared that I should forfeit
the point.
I would like to know if the ref made the right decision.
