Umpires: Would your angle make it difficult for you to determine this?
A wing's distance (and the fact that we're sometimes screened by the end on our side) might make it difficult for us as well. Don't know.
I do agree that it would be, if not a one in a million, certainly a one in a thousand chance that you'd be able to do this and not encroach. Unless we get high-speed ump-cams and the ability to replay everything, I would think it's unlikely you'd be able to tell, so I'd say you would probably be fairly safe with an encroachment call.
