Perhaps I am in error, but at about 1:31 seconds the beamer seems to be delivered. I must say and I might mention that when much, much younger, it was the day of Don Bradman and Dennis Compton. Time has changed many things. Before I make the main point, I have to note my pleasure at the performance the redoubtable Sri Lankan batsman against Lee- "well played sir".
I noted in the video provided and insert titled " Brett Lee smashes Alex Tudor's skull". A terrible moment. I hope not to be taken as preaching here. Fundamentally the bowler attacks the wicket, not the man. The batter is defenceless usually. I did read of a batter managing to "line drive" and nail an errant bowler. Almost impossible I think.
Lastly propagandists like Morgan (O'Meara) are best beaten in the battle for the mind. (Excuse the sermon)- cordially PL.
If you have ever learned cricket from a basic level, you will know one of the first instructions to any batsman is this: Whether you are trying to attack, defend or altogether leave a delivery.....you need to KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE BALL.
Taking your eyes off the ball makes an innocuous delivery lethal if not fatal. If you have watched all of the deliveries that were bowled to Morgan, you would have seen him do three very stupid things-1. He took his eyes off the trajectory of the ball before it left the bowler’s hand 2. He kept crouching in his stance, effectively reducing his height and increasing the chances of an injury (since he is not looking at the ball) and 3. He kept wandering around the crease like a drunkard.
All these three can get you hurt irrespective of a bowler’s intentions. What you saw at 1.31 was a combination of all 3 with the crouching part effectively increasing the height of the ball. The Tudor video you talked about features the same problem.
The short ball is both a wicket taking delivery and also a very effective scoring shot if you get your basics right.
