No let. (compare with a football player in the box letting his foot trail over the defender's leg). And a conduct warning for the court abuse:)

Power slips, but is pretty much there to play the ball - which is a stroke. At the very least a let, as there is some interference created by Nicol backing into Power - and the ball at that point is not dead.

Doesn't really matter as he should have been docked the game for shouting "WHAT THE F**K ARE YOU DOING" and "SHUT THE HELL UP" at the ref. You wouldn't find that sort of behaviour at the mighty Mote!?!

I think it's a really good call from the ref. Power is a bit too extended to hit the ball and when he slips he decides to go for the stroke. if you play it back, Nicol actually backs into Power's extended arm which shouldn't have been there. the tantrum is quite something isn't it?

I think 'no let' is right as the only effort he put in on that shot was to wrap himself up with the opponent. He made no attempt to move to where the ball was or where it was going. If he had dropped his shoulder and tried to push past then it would have been a let. Definately not a stroke as he was never in a position to play the ball.
