Brown bats six and seven, and I think there is a perception that his runs wouldn't translate to Test cricket. They feel the same with Foakes. Brown has only batted less than 20% at 5 or higher. Bohannon will get a shot soon, assuming he'll come in to bat three if Malan struggles. They have ease him in around number six though if they can.

Thanks for the reply. I didn’t realise that Brown batted so low, but it makes sense for a wicketkeeper. Has Malan opened much in First Class cricket? He’s coming in so early that England could potentially open with him.

No, opened about 20 times out of nearly 400 innings. Mostly he has batted four. A little at five, and some at six.
