While catching a ball, a cricket player lowers his hands, because by doing so, he increases the time of catch. That is, the person increases the time to bring about a given change in momentum, and hence rate of change of momentum decreases. Thus, a small force is exerted by ball on the hands. To reduce this force on the opposite direction the fielder lowers his hands ( which is in the direction of the balls original speed). Moving the hands in the direction of the ball's speed causes the ball to slow down first and then stop. This causes less force on the hands.
