It could have been worse though. He could have not run at all, and we'd have lost Brown. Did the right thing to sacrifice himself.
Currie definitely should have run straight away. But Brown should have realised earlier that he wasn't.
Lehmann has been great. Brown has batted pretty well at times. Everyone else has been a disaster. And Orr still can't get a game.
Dawson has enough credit in the bank, but he really is in no sort of form this season at all.
I'm yet to be convinced that moving Gubbins up to open was the correct call.
And I haven't changed my mind that only one of Prest or Mayes should be in the team. If you give either of them a whole season, I'm sure they would score a few 50s. And any side should be able to play a young batter at no.6 or no.7. But playing them both in the top five is too much, too soon.
Still, at least we can put aside our poor batting for about two days now, and instead focus on our poor bowling now.

It's all a knock on from the opening batters imo, we need a couple of reliable specialists to open and not expose the middle order to a relatively new ball. It seems like years since we had that.
