That umpire clearly does not know the rules

Once you are in, you can't be out if your bat bounces or you jump in the air

Regardless, on the replay, the shoulder of the bat was grounded

3rd umpire getting funky there

Glad I'm not the only one who thought Morgan got a bad decn. There might be a condition on the rule as someone in commentary said. You can only jump in the air after you've made your ground trying to avoid being hit.

Just read the rules in the Sky box and it says that if you ground the bat and your momentum takes it upwards then you should be not out.

Mike Hussey could pass as the lost Green Wiggle in this uniform. His hair is greying at the same pace as the blue wiggle's, the one who's still in the group.

what sky box? anyways:

LAW 38 RUN OUT
1. Out Run out
(a) Either batsman is out Run out, except as in 2 below, if, at any time while the ball is in
play,
(i) he is out of his ground
and (ii) his wicket is fairly put down by the action of a fielder.
(b) (a) above shall apply even though No ball has been called, except in the circumstances of
2(b)(ii) below, and whether or not a run is being attempted.
2. Batsman not Run out
Notwithstanding 1 above,
(a) A batsman is not out Run out if
(i) he has been within his ground and has subsequently left it to avoid injury, when
the wicket is put down.
Note also the provisions of Law 29.1(b) (When out of his ground).
(ii) the ball has not subsequently been touched by a fielder, after the bowler has
entered his delivery stride, before the wicket is put down.
(iii) the ball, having been played by the striker, or having come off his person, directly
strikes a protective helmet worn by a fielder and, without any other contact with
him or any contact with any other fielder, rebounds directly on to the wicket.
However, the ball remains in play and either batsman may be Run out in the
circumstances of 1 above if a wicket is subsequently put down.
(b) The striker is not out Run out
(i) if he is out Stumped. See Laws 2.8(e)(ii) (Transgression of the Laws by a batsman
who has a runner) and 39.1(b) (Out Stumped).
(ii) either in the circumstances of Law 2.8(e)(i) (Transgression of the Laws by a
batsman who has a runner) or, otherwise,
if No ball has been called
and he is out of his ground not attempting a run
and the wicket is fairly put down by the wicket-keeper without the intervention of another
fielder.

in regard to 29.1 it only covers him if his foot is down, not his bat

LAW 29 BATSMAN OUT OF HIS GROUND
1. When out of his ground
(a) A batsman shall be considered to be out of his ground unless his bat or some part of his
person is grounded behind the popping crease at that end.
(b) Notwithstanding (a) above, if a running batsman, having grounded some part of his foot
behind the popping crease, continues running further towards the wicket at that end and
beyond, then any subsequent total loss of contact with the ground of both his person and
his bat during his continuing forward momentum shall not be interpreted as being out of
his ground.

Yeah they clarified later on saying that the MCC had been considering changing the law but haven't made a decision yet. Its pretty ridiculous to be fair that he can be run out like that.
