The man delivering to Morgan is not bowling according to the rules. He is throwing the ball. He has already been censured for improper delivery. This when in actual proper matches. Just had to enjoy American baseball of yore. Up in Canada we were tuned in to the Detroit Tigers. When a pitcher deliberately hit the batter. A few round house punches were often thrown. Oh I should mention that was when it was Ernie Harwell the radio game commentator was on.
If Morgan is detested here that is ok. He had no defence against the individual throwing the ball.
Having seen Brett Lee in action for more than a decade, I don’t see anything in his action in this six-ball over that is against the rules. It’s quiet another thing that Morgan was trying to bite off far more than he could chew. He was absolutely clueless, so no point blaming Lee for it.
For comparison, here’s how a Sri Lankan batsman, who is much shorter than Morgan, played Lee (when he was younger, fitter and faster) a decade ago

No, he is.
It’s within rules to bowl at the body as long as it’s not a beamer. A beamer is a ball which doesn’t hit the ground before coming at the body. I haven’t seen the whole video but the first few balls all bounced off the ground and hence within the rules.
Also the bowler is Brett Lee who is no longer an active player - he retired a few years back.
Chin music.
