Meh I thought Ballance shaped up fairly well in the first three tests and liked the idea of him batting 5 amongst the more aggresive bats - but you look at this test and the same problems persist. Just gets bombed by short balls and doesn't do anything about it before knicking off to the fuller delivery and pats back long hops from the spinners - and gona get caught around the bat a lot of the time. Needs offensive shots to counter- where are the pull/hooks and sweeps? He's going to get eaten up alive this winter in India and in Australia next winter the way he's still batting. All 3 of Ballance, Vince and Hales look doomed failures. Can't really get rid of all 3 at once though. Probably good news for Hales. Probably means England will bring in one more senior established bat at county level (think Hildreth, Malan, Madsen, Bell lol?, Robson, Boreshite etc) and one younger ( think Duckett, Westley, Bell-Drummond, Northeast, Browne etc).
