Is Tom Latham the new Watto?

This bloke looks good ... he gets in, but just keeps getting out, often stupidly, when set.

14 times, in 26 Test innings, Tom Latham has been dismissed between 20 and 85. In this series, his scores have been 47, 29, 36, 15 and 50.

He hasn't yet mastered the lbw or the hanging around for eternity after being dismissed, looking like Eeyore ... but the other batting attributes are there.

needs to work on the lower lip wobble. and the constant injuries

He seems to have started with the silly dismissals; he can always work on the petulance and the recurring groin injuries later.

Clottos injuries gave the team relief. It was his best attribute.

As long as Tom doesn't turn into Mark....

Well yes, things could always be worse.

harsh

Does he have an equivalent kryptonitesque mode of dismissal a la Watto? If not then he is a mere impostor.
