I’m in agreement with Tantemerle assessment. There was nothing special about that delivery and Andrew should not have committed to the front foot without getting close to the pitch of the delivery.
If you know anything about playing spin you should know that. Conversely, you have to let the ball come to you or play on the back foot.
However, anybody can get out first ball.
The bigger issue, however, does Andrew who is relatively young and inexperienced have the ability and competency at this level?
The youth will be fine. He is better off opening the innings at this stage but Rutherford had a last minute absence and he had to bat in the middle.
