You wouldn't expect someone to be described as "sliding under the radar" when they hit the second highest score.
There were three sixes and they were all sixes. He looked like his class at no point.
He made the chances count even though he was dropped.
"He doesn't hit the big bombs or the big sixes," said England bowler Chriswoakes. He builds well.
The England team-mates may disagree on that.
He looked at me like I was going to die. The run chase was completed with six balls to spare.
He referred to a monster six that he hit off the leg-spinner.
Despite being the world's number one ranked T20 batter and having success in Test cricket, his place in the England line-up has never felt secure around the big-hitting of some of his peers.
Against the Northern Superchargers, he led Trent Rockets to their second victory of the competition and England bowler Mark Wood said they were the team to beat.
Malan just seems to score and score and score. Wood said that he hit the ball harder than he thought.
The combination of Malan and Hales at the top of the order will keep the opposition off balance.
They smashed 86 together and Northern Superchargers had no answers.
The power of the Astros made them not need Joe Root to help them out in the chase.
After three games for England, there are some promising signs.
Hales and Malan hit the ball in different places. Alex Hales can be very dangerous and it's great to see him in this form.
Bowlers get some punches in the bowling department as well.
Tabraiz Shamsi is ranked second-best in the world in T20, and they have three players in their ranks.
Trent Rockets would continue on his winning run if tonight's show was any indication.
