If you draw a line directly from the back of his shoe it almost perfectly aligns with the back of the line. I’ve saved an image, cropped, zoomed etc and that’s a fact.

Not really sure what else to say? It’s not really even a matter of opinion thing unless there’s a different camera angle

It’s not? You could clearly see the white bit.

There’s a good angle on CA’s instagram btw

If it’s still in the air it’s not behind the line ffs.

That’s not the rule

That’s where I got it from. Zoomed in and lined it up as far as I can. There’s no white bit. Literally looking at it right now.

Yeah if it's in the air it's still behind the line.

I think it was clearly a no ball anyway ftr.

For the record though this is still a no ball (if true; I disagree slightly).

It certainly would make it not "obvious" though.

21.5.2 the bowler’s front foot must land with some part of the foot, whether grounded or raised

- on the same side of the imaginary line joining the two middle stumps as the return crease described in 21.5.1, and

- behind the popping crease.

Yes, in theory it is but as we can’t really calculate at like a subatomic level or whatever, I think when it appears to be exactly aligned you have to say it’s uncertain

Yeah this is for those spinners who land on the ball of their feet and pivot with their heel still in the air, mostly.

I still don't know what you're seeing here. Look just above the heel; there's a bit of white paint there which is illuminated and behind Cummins' foot.

Pace bowlers to invest in shoes that bulge out an inch at the heel apparently. His heel was down flat. Total farce.

I’m looking at a zoomed, cropped image aligned with the very back of his shoe. There’s no line behind it.

 

[thierry henry]

As silly arguments go this one feels pretty silly lol

Post said image then.

I haven’t even had a drink yet today

 

[thierry henry]

The more I look at it the more I think the line has actually ended, but I’m not even trying to go that far

 

[Athlai]

I’m beginning to think TH may not be the master of measurements we’ve made him out to be.

 

[thierry henry]

yeah that probably shouldn’t have been a screenshot of a screenshot of a screenshot but what are ya gonna do

Where is the protractor?
