I think Ballance is a very un-english cricketer, who will consistently score runs despite a pretty hideous looking techique. We normally focus too much on the technical flaws and dump these people at the first sign of a slump in form, while the technically sound players are allowed to survive far longer slumps of form(as Bell is showing). We need to stick with him imo, as he does get runs and he seems determined and intelligent enough to find ways of covering his flaws, even if not in the most orthodox or aesthetically pleasing fashion.
