Now, get back under your bridge please, as you have now asked your allotted 3 questions.

Nothing in that interview could possibly be construed as Morgan baiting anyone.
Prior to and after that interview Morgan said he disagreed with the umpire's ejection.
And Morgan is entitled to his opinion, since he is being paid to offer an opinion.
If you cannot stand disagreement with calls by umpires then you should not be an umpire.
And the ejection was based solely on judgement by the umpire.
The umpire's opnion is the final word.....but it is not the only one.
That is why we have announcers.
