Not at all. Head's way of dealing with pressure is to go hard through the off-side and he's looked determinedly circumspect thus far.
He’s human. It’s a natural feeling

this is his first tour of England. Even all time greats feel it, until they win a match

simple really

Didn't Geraint Jones of all people have the record for most dismissals in a 3 match series or something for quite a while?
No, but bairstow himself is tied 2nd for most dismissals in a 3 match series (19 in his SL series in 2016) alongside other noted atg keepers Sarfaraz Ahmed, Junior Murray and Gilbert Langley, and some scrub named Ian Healy.
 

Burgey

This is classic Travis head. He was 8 off 24 in the first dig and finished 53 off 60. He’s played so many knocks where he’s faced about 20-25 balls, looked awful then turned into a sort of left handed peak Viv Richards. He’s a weird player.
