Ben Stokes' dismissal soured Australia's 64-run over England in the second ODI at Lord's on Saturday.
The controversey happened when England were 141 for three, chasing a daunting 310 to win. Stokes was given out by the TV umpire for 10 'obstructing the field' for stopping paceman Mitchell Starc's shy at the stumps with his left glove while out of his crease.
It was harsh on Stokes as he appeared to be acting more in self-defense than trying to prevent being run out.
The all-rounder had joined captain Eoin Morgan in the middle after James Taylor's promising innings of 43 ended when he nicked a Mitchell Marsh delivery to wicketkeeper Matthew Wade.
Morgan was clearly angry, with the performance of his outplayed team and with opposing captain Steven Smith for not withdrawing the Stokes appeal.
"If the guy throws the ball in your direction from five yards then all you can do is flinch, you don't have time to think," said Morgan.
"The decision was made and I certainly feel it would have been different if we were fielding."
