Oh, without question, it is absurd that Malan didnt know he had hit it. Perhaps he thought it hit the pad first. Either way, you review it. Cook should have told him it didnt look out anyway.
I agree, I think you always know. I hardly ever nicked anything because my judgement outside off was impeccable- I was far too busy getting out lbw
One occasion I think it is possible that I may have nicked it. THe bat heavily brushed the pad at the same time and I felt that. It is slightly possible I may have nicked at the same time but I didnt feel it, so I didnt walk. Three aussies called me a cheating ****, without a break, for roughly the next hour or so. I said nothing and focused instead on leaving the **** out of every delivery for the rest of the afternoon. Match drawn, 87-3 from 47 overs. 22 not out.
I cant recall an afternoon where I have enjoyed myself more
. I hope I did ****ing hit it.....
