Regardless...suggesting it's a formality that someone on 20 is going to ton up on day 4 of a Test is garbage commentary.
This
Why? He's got a really good ball there. Hasn't made a mistake and played a loose shot, just got one on a good length that seamed away. It happens.
It's poor in the sense that he again made the mistake that got him in the first innings, he saw it early, played way too early and pushed out at one he should have let come to him. It's something he was doing brilliantly in England, letting the ball come to him under his eyes before making his stroke, here, two dismissals in a row come from him pushing down the line early at one and not adjusting his stroke.
Why? Because Blocky says it was.
First innings, sure he pushed out at it. This one he didn't - had to play that line, and it was just full enough that he couldn't adjust to the movement. Being way too harsh criticising someone for getting out to that.
The fact that he squared up his stance shows how early he was on that ball, it was a great ball, came towards him and seamed away, but it's the type of thing he used to be a master of soft handing down to the ground via gully. At the moment he's lost that in his game and he's getting out repeatedly in this fashion.
Was just thinking that Latham's looking pretty comfortable, no apparent signs of mental fatigue atm.
Being a bit harsh there. Generally once KW gets into 20-30 odd relatively untroubled, he SHOULD go on, thats just cause of the standards set by the man himself. Also, what does Day 4 have anything to do with it? The track is the flattest its been all test and the bowling has been good-consistent but not overly great or highly threatening.
