The irony is Gary Ballances biggest issue is.... balance. Was Jason Gillespie his club coach? If so, remarkable inside job there. "Gary, listen, even if it's a half volley I want you to go right back in your crease and wait for the swing". The lad is all hands, he allows bowlers to pitch up and swing him out with late movement.
He's the Bryan Young of his generation. He used to always go well back. I saw it work once when Young converted a Yorker into a long half volley. Except he's not also a brilliant slipsman who somehow also got/fluked 267 not out v the best knuckle ball pitcher in the game of baseball, Muralitharan.

He obviously looks at the County cricket scorecards when picking the test team. How else could Ballance and all his technical shortcomings get a recall?
