Its a consistent issue. He shows some great skills but does not get a chance to develop properly. Should be batting at 6.Looks like a horrible track. Siboto with 5/15. Not good signs there. Also, why is Lucky batting so low for the Dolphins? I'm tired of him doing the bit-part gig at domestic level as well. He shouldn't be behind Makhanya. And he should be above Zondo imo. For the good of the Proteas.
I think he's developed too much of a reputation as a lower-order slogger, making coaches reluctant to give him a go higher up. Which possibly become a bit of a Catch-22 because he's batting too low down to get high scores on a regular basis, but not making the high scores means that he's not being promoted up the order.Its a consistent issue.

That is just bad coaching and selection and poor logic.

He scored 3 or 4 50+'s in a row during the LO domestic season end of last year, when he was pushed up the order to number 6. He has the ability, his game has just not developed beyond been treated as a number 8 basher.I'm going to go against the grain a bit and position myself as a sceptic of his batting ability in the first place. He doesn't score runs because he's not very good. It's his early ODI record that's the aberration rather than his batting position/lack of runs in First Class cricket IMO. He's admirably good at soaking up pressure but the actual batting thing that he struggles with.
Whats up with Mulder only bowling 3 balls? Hope that is not a serious injury.Seems like 1 tricky batting wicket a round and Lions have been involved in both : https://www.espncricinfo.com/series...ions-4th-match-4-day-franchise-series-2019-20
Always thought he had more about him than Jason Smith so thought it so weird he couldn't show it at the Cobras or WP when they trained or played together.Dayyaan Galiem has been in the runs in both matches with wickets in the first. It looks like the move to the Titans may have worked for him, and it'll be good to have an all-round option other than Mulder.
Think he was carrying a little niggle going into the first game. Looks like it is back. Hopefully not too bad and not negligent from the Lions/CSA's part to allow him bowl.Whats up with Mulder only bowling 3 balls? Hope that is not a serious injury.
