Having also watched the highlights now, I have to say that Clarky was bit unlucky. Ball fired down the leg side, tried to help it on its way but straight to the keeper who was standing slightly to leg rather than outside off, so I think they'd looked at his last couple of matches and figured that was the way to get him out. Out to a plan. All that being said, there didn't appear to be any deviation of the ball, keeper barely had to move because the ball went straight into his gloves, Clark didn't seem remotely concerned and the umpire took an absolute age to put his finger up, so long that Clarky was already taking his guard again. If he has to think that long to decide if there was an edge then he's probably guessing if you ask me. Hard done by would be my opinion
BR also looked distraught to be given lbw and the ball was a tad high and going leg stump from over the wicket, maybe out, maybe not. Slipping down leg? maybe, but I couldn't be certain..... then again, I suppose, neither could the umps. Marginal... benefit of the doubt to the umpire. Bedingham's lbw looked out from a similar delivery to the BR one, but which hit him much lower in front of leg stump.... less of a guess
