The cricket board shows me that millimeter-thin line on the screen, and I think of my old weighing scale for stamp papers — you can calibrate it, but if the floor is uneven, the number means nothing. My son sends me these freeze-frame photos from his hostel, arguing the batsman's foot was a hair's breadth over the crease, and I tell him, 'beta, the technology is only as honest as the man who set the zero point.' For the small shopkeeper in our market, a wrong offside call might cost him his evening chai, and that is the real calculation.
