might be wrong but doesn't any contact with the pad or body before touching the bat count towards an LBW.
doesn't have to be full on, just has to hit it, I think.
Edit looking at it on the net, it seems if the ball hit the pad first which looks very likely in this case, then it become irrelevant that he hit the ball with the bat.
