Does feel like the lack of scores is getting to his head. Did not look confident at all with the bat in his hand today.
If we do what we've been doing all series, he could come in 4 down in the second dig in a fairly low pressure scenario (i.e. lead 300-350 or something like that) and have a chance to pick up a relatively easy confidence builder.
There's going to be some very tough tours coming up for the batsmen so he'll want at least 1 50+ score to his name during this Ashes.
It's only 8 tests. The panic button is a long way from being pressed. He's obviously contributing really well with the ball and in the gully.
