I think that's an incredibly basic way of looking at technique to be honest. I'd say he has a pretty good technique. It's the thing im between his ears that does him in (which, given his public persona, is hardly surprising).
Adapting to conditions isnt part of a good technique?

Has ability with the bat but just throws it away. Remind me of broad from England. He was good early but now is shit

Broad has never been the same player since he got sconned, was borderline Test 7 or 8, now just a bunny.

Welcome to the Summer of crap cricket where we are going to be thumped by a team that has never had a clue about winning in Australia. I sincerely hope the hierarchy of Cricket Australia are still happy with their " we answer to a higher moral code than everyone else" absurdity of a decision to banish Warner and Smith for long enough to destroy the entire Summer.

What other options do we have for captain? Paine shouldn't even be near the team.

One good innings in UAE won't change my mind.
He could average 40 odd last summer and that won't change your mind.

That is because you are set in your ways of hoping he does badly. It was good bowling but whatever. He got out for 5!!!!, DROP HIM!!!!!!! Continue on talking crap

Literally anyone. He only looks good when he has to bat for time. Has a nice average since returning but it's padded quite dramatically with 5 NOs.
The thing is that he has a fairly good technique and so can usually get a start. Plus he's the closest thing to a captain we have in the side at present because at least he justifies his place.

Don't think reverting back to Wade as WK batsman will do anything.

His decline started when Johnson made a fool out of him during the 2013/14 Ashes series, but yeah the sconning really killed any chances he had of regaining his past form.
