He looks like a poor man's Gary Ballance to me. At least Ballance made some runs at test level before oppos worked him out. Not sure how Malan survived ahead of Tom Westley and James Vince in the middle order.
At the risk of sounding like Geoff Boycott, it is a concern that players come from county cricket to the international game with obvious technique faults
It’s not a concern really because the likes of malan have techniques and mentalities for multi format Cricket. It’s rare to find players capable of being technically good enough whilst also play limited overs cricket. Just look through people and you’ll find the flaws. Baring in mind white ball stuff now is different from white ball 5 years ago so players got away with more historically.
It is what it is, we either invest in producing players primarily for red ball or we accept limited overs produces brilliant ball striking but does limit your technical and mental ability generally (always exceptions)
Joe Clarke has flaws just like malan. He may come good.. he may just be abother that is found out.. Jennings again nicked off for not many but got lucky for example.. same flaw as before
