Obviously it's not entirely his fault; he was left to try to save the game with the bowlers after Finch and Labuschagne got out, followed swiftly by Marsh and Maxwell. But he's a batsman, and through a good chunk of that he was running singles and putting Zampa and Hazlewood - who are genuine tailenders - back on strike. When he finally hit a boundary it was on the last ball of the over. At one point they ran 2 which would have left Carey on strike, England fumbled a bit in the field and he ran again and took himself off strike.

Zampa and Hazlewood both did a better job at putting him on strike than he was doing at keeping it - Zampa actually hit a pretty nice straight drive at one point to get a single despite clearly struggling with batting, and Hazlewood was really consistently and safely hitting singles.

I'm amazed he lasted as long as he did. That was possibly the weirdest part - normally when a batsman is panicking they get out quickly, but somehow he stuck around despite seemingly having forgotten how to play properly.
