Rapana showed a bit of toe there. Probably should have done better once he got there.

Bradman also had both points of the ball exposed, it was a loose carry.
Agreed.

I can see why the ref would think it's a strip live, but Starling isn't able to get any grip on the ball and then his arm doesn't really move.... his fingers don't even move to try and grip at the ball.

If he's lost it from that little amount of contact then I'd suggest it's a loose carry.

Starling nearly pulled off one of the all time try saves if he dislodged that ball with his head

Absolutely can be argued it was a loose carry, absolutely. But once the call is made, the stripping action that is present makes it impossible to change the live decision.

What's happened to running behind your own player. Doesn't matter all if a sudden
