Malan should be commended for coming up with a few scores, but I am always skeptical of a player who's only approach at the moment is to survive. And hes been lucky to survive at times. 2 x scratchy 50s in the long run dont show much to me. Theres a difference between riding out tough sessions against good bowling in tough conditions, and simply not having the belief in your ability to set the tone. Malan needs to go out and show some aggression and control a bit more before Im convinced in him.
Bit of a tale of two extremes. One batsman not comfortable enough to step up and play his natural game, the other responding too aggressively because he also probably doesnt have the belief in his ability to occupy the crease for long periods.
