WEEKEND BAGATELLE XIX.: DARYL SELBY vs. MARWAN EL SHORBAGY - YES LET OR NO LET?

Last week's Yes Let/No Let sample between James Willstrop and Nick Matthew was rather straight forward: 'No Let!' This week's seems to me a bit more complicated, even if the appealing player was not contesting it. In any case, it is a borderline situation, it was not even far away from being a 'Stroke' to El Shorbagy, but the referees were not hesitating to call it a 'No Let!'. A let-ball would  have  definitely been the more conservative call, but would it have been also more appropriate?
