Off topic, but this reminds me of a tale about Sir Vivian Richards.
He had played and missed the ball a few times and the bowler tried to wind him up by coming up to him and saying “Look Viv, this is the ball, it’s red and round and weighs about 4 ounces”
The next ball Richards hit the ball out of the ground and said to the bowler “You know what it looks like, now go and find it”
