Sorry can't wait any longer, that'll be 0.052 radians, or slightly under 3 degrees. It's immaterial how far out Paul was (Mullin, btw).
Result obtained using following data : -
<TABLE class=sgmllist border=0><TBODY><TR class=oddrow vAlign=top><TD>
Circumference of ball: </TD><TD>20 3/4 to 21 1/4 inches (middle); 27 3/4 to 28 1/2 inches (long axis).</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
