hopefully his dogged determination as a batsman will rub off on the youngsters rather than his batting stance

I am sure he will encourage the youngsters to adopt a stance (s) that works best for them and not a fixed stance the critics would like to see....

When Shiv started he had the classical batting stance...and it changed...and changed...and he was able to explain his last stance....and the balance it gave him as he faced up to the bowler
