The 37-year-old also contributed on the field with a run out. The ball looped over his head at short-fine leg. He ambled after it and lobbed it back on the turn without any noticeable urgency. By the time it made its way to wicketkeeper Chadwick Walton, both Philip Salt and his batting partner Dawid Malan were at the same end after a breakdown in communication. It was Salt who had to go.
