Yeah he took his chances with the duck in hope of getting a wide of it.

Not running a bye was mainly Boult's fault IMO -- Santner even took a couple of steps before he realised Boult wasn't actually halfway down the wicket like he should have been and went back.

You can (and should anyway in that situation) run on a wide, so that is an irrelvance. He just had a frazzled mind as Jof stuck a ball past his nose at 90mph.

The temerity of anyone to suggest Santner wasn't up for the challenge of Archer, honestly. Many a trustworthy eye has judged him the best young batsman, talent wise, in the country....

Eh, over the Santner hate. He'll be fine. Do you honestly believe he'd be here if he was that much of a numpty off the back foot? Best young batsman, talent wise, in the country. He'll put a few on the hill if he's tested with the short stuff.
