Quote: Captain Hook "Maths was never my strong point Silver, but wouldn’t the ball have to be a) totally pointed like a sharp pencil and b) perfectly perpendicular for that level of certainty to apply?
For what it’s worth I thought it was a try, but also Mamo did incredibly well to get round the Wakey lump and ground the ball, what an athlete!'"
No, even if the end of the ball was spherical, the centre would touch grass before the outer edge - and yes, my memory is that the axis of the ball was more or less or less vertical when touched down.
