Very good number three. He was a perfectionist and put so much pressure on himself. The story goes that he was in the nets at Adelaide in 2013/14 facing a bowling machine delivering balls at 95+ mph at his body, literally torturing himself. We hung him out to dry after that - and forced him to open with Ian Bell in the West Indies in 2015, and then just discarded him. Very sad.
