I see it thus; the defender with no options left cleverly thumped the ball backwards / sideways out of the attacker's grasp, counting on the attacker touching it on its way to touch. If it works, 22 d.o., if it doesn't, PT. He is quite within his rights to do this, and if he fails to do it within the laws the attacker is compensated with a penalty try.
