They're bowling pretty tight to him to be fair... he's had two full ones which he's put away for runs.
He's getting a lot on the 5th stump line and back of a length... can probably only play those drop shots that run down to 3rd man, which I think he should look to use more and rotate strike.
Missing these ones down leg for easy runs though, which is frustrating.

I feel like that approach by Konstad was right but it was always going to be a short time and a good time. He got them off to a great start.

You can’t anchor on this wicket unless you are prime Steve Smith. They just have to keep going for it.

This is now a big partnership... another wicket now brings in Head who has been in terrible form the last two matches, a debutant who batted very well in the first innings, but is still on debut and then Carey and the bowlers.
Need a fucking partnership

I agree... it's like he's out there trying to have a net session and get in as many balls as possible instead of looking to score

Have to be positive with your batting on this pitch and keep the runs ticking over or the bowlers just grind you into making a mistake.

He's done it the entire series, just comes in and kills any momentum.
He just has no idea how he wants to play.

Yeah he's lost the ability to get singles and rotate strike.
