Why is Wade opening? Never done it before that I can recall. Probably make 300+ now

They brought up the lowest scores on the coverage and AB mentioned that they would all have been on uncovered wickets. There really was nothing wrong with the pitch, a combination of very good bowling and poor technique.Sorry to harp on about NZ's infamous 26 all out but that was back in the days of uncovered wickets & possibly of Eden Park being grazed rather than mowed. Has anyone scored less than 36 on a covered, properly-curated pitch?
Edit: quick google suggests not, lowest modern-day score prior to today appears to be 38 by Ireland v England last year.
Why they persist with short balls to tailenders is mystifying. Maybe some element of payback?
