In order for the kicker to be out off a catch the player that is doing the catching must have possesion of the ball. The is no official time limit to be called an out.
Long enough for the fielder to demonstrate to the official(s) that he has control of the ball. If he drops it 'during the course of fielding' it's deemed not a catch. If it is deemed, by the ump, to be dropped in the transfer from glove to throwing motion you won't have held it very long, but it is a judgement call and may go against you. The same for catching a fly ball, its upto the ump. Just don't drop it!_________________________________________________________________________________ A fly ball is a term for when the batter hits the ball and it goes high in the air, and usually makes for an easy out because they are easy for outfielders to catch

The real question in: how long do have have to hold the ball to be calleda ball hog.
Three seconds, or it is called a held ball.
In international cricket, simply a speed gun is used on the boundary line. However, in standard club cricket, you can video the delivery, note the distance, and time how long it takes the ball to get to the end of the pitch from the start of the delivery.
No, as long as you stay calm then you don't have to hold your breath.
