[QUOTE="An Tarbh, post: 162296"] I think he`s got all the talent in the world to succeed, but he`s got a great, big, gaping technical flaw in his technique. He doesn`t get back and across properly especially early on in his innings, and especially to decent pace. Bond exposed him in both innings, was it not for McCullum`s poor catching, he`d have been gone for 2 in the second. That said, Smith, Gibbs and De Villiers have very similar technical flaws, so it really comes down to the coaching. The Aussies have in the past, and will definately in future, expose those weaknesses. So unless Amla works on getting back and across properly, he`ll always struggle against decent pace. [/b][/quote] Well I've not seen anything of him in this series, will have to wait for the series against the West Indies, which I'd imagine will be a lot easier than NZ but regardless of that I've always thought there were serious questions over his technique but back to back centuries doesn't seem to be a bad way about proving his doubters wrong. There has always been ****ling doubts as to why he's been in the team but then he does manage to come up with a decent score, he seems to have found some consistency in this series. I suppose the doubts will return if he fails in the series against the Windies. Is there still another test in this series? [/QUOTE]
