Yeh, that dismissal was his worst ever. Just woeful. An innocuous 2nd ball warm-up from Southee. The pitch is fine, not too difficult to bat on. You just need a bit of grit, Head yet to show he really has it. Disappointing.
Fortunately for Head there are a couple in front of him in the exit row. Marnus being number 1.
I'd like to see Marnus go down the order. He isn't a test 3 IMO. There is no real 'B' game to his batting. When he tries to grind, it is only a matter of time before he gets out.
Our problem is though, who do we bat at 3? I just don't see anyone to go into the role. Smith would be the obvious choice, but looks badly out of form, and maybe out of time.
Head's batting is similar to Marnus, very one paced. But Head is making starts, just not going on with it. His game needs to mature (reminds me a bit of a young David Warner, perish the thought) but Head not a huge problem just yet compared to our opening and No.3 roles.
