Ok, we can have our own interpretations. You don’t get umpires call on where the ball pitches though.
The words 'looks' and 'is' have different meanings though. Generally 'looks' requires further evidence to move on to 'is'. Hence its greater subjectiveness and our difference of opinion.

Malan looks the real deal from am English POV. Probably the biggest positive of the tour.

No, if you require evidence of where the ball pitches it doesn’t look plumb. Simple

Right, just like when it looks plumb and you find out there was the thinnest of inside edges via the DRS. It actually never looked plumb in the first place. No dismissal can ever 'look' out - what if it was a no ball.


Or when the hot chick across the room with the tight pants and the great figure turns around and she has a beard, she actually never 'looked' hot in the first place...at least, that's what you're trying to desperately tell your mates as you backpedal wildly.

The umpire didn’t think it was plumb? Just saying��. Loving the analogy btw.
I probably should have clarified - I thought it looked plumb at first viewing at full speed. Was fully expecting it to be not out after seeing the slow motion replays.

The analogy comes from personal experience. Obviously I wasn't the one who foolishly mistook a thin man with a beard for a woman though. It was a mate :ph34r:

You and your mates need to get your eyes tested.
