On another note, you are right, the key was before opening his account, I would agree there. He should have taken a bit more time and should have seen how the ball was behaving. But I guess he thought in that ball he had opportunity to score and went for it.
About hitting Nel, why not? The ugly faces he makes do more talking than his bowling. And if you hit him, then you are certainly demoralizing him (as he feels nobody can hit him), and if he is low in confidence then you would get more bad balls from him.

The bottom line is that he was out! And that's it!
100% effort and 0% output is not desirable in any form of endevour.
And Nel makes ugly faces - and we fall for it! He surely knows that now. Unfortunately, we still don't.
And you say he was in full control - how did it then land in the hands of a fielder.
You say that is what powerplay was meant for - that is a cricket game law, merely. If you have more serious problems, you respond differently.
