There are certain things a bowler should be allowed:
being carted 90 metres is surely a Six ....
I would give a change of delivery style without telling the Umpire.
IF reverse sweep is allowed by a Bat : Then I should be able to bowl a left arm delivery
OR come around the wicket.
OR as in Trevor Chappel , bowl an underarm delivery.

One way to eliminate these types of circus catches is to push the boundary ropes back to where they were in the 70s and 80s. The World Cup final was played at the MCG where boundaries were 70 yards. I understand there needs to be a balance to include the safety aspect and incorporate the fact that crowds like to see boundaries, but we are seeing teams chase down 300+ rather too frequently these days.

Good point ! those smaller boundaries are indeed a Batting advantage !
