Defender's leg not there, that photo must be hooky.

Totally agree that a series of images can be more conclusive. Was just pointing out that one image - particularly the photo which has been doing the rounds - can only prove that a ball was out, not that it didn't go out.
Don't understand the image you posted. It's obviously a reconstruction, but based on what since there's no ball tracking in this situation?
Surprisingly, the best evidence I've seen is on twitter, which if you run it fullscreen allows you to scrub frame-by-frame. Anyone still arguing it's out after seeing that doesn't understand either geometry or the rules.

If a series of still images all show some part of the ball was in then you have no proof that the ball ever went out.
The still image they chose was the one where the least amount of the ball was still in.
Could it have been completely out at some point between frames? Maybe, but if you can't find any proof that the ball was ever out then you have to assume it was still in.
Here's the one they were showing on TV, the lighter part of the ball is the bit that is still "in".
