There is always an exception to every normality.
It's called an aberration.
For example; Dave Warner.
I posted here in a tread about batsman-ship.
I watch many white ball cricketers here:-
play across the line consistently,
play with wide gaps between bat and pad,
play airy-fairy,
get frustrated when they play out 3 consecutive dot-balls,
edge through non-existent 2nd to 4th slip, even gully, and so on.
Now if they play red-ball game, especially at a higher level,
they SHOULD be abe to counter these poor shots.
White ball damage SOME batsmen's technique.
I saw batsmen trying to ramp in the Bangladesh innings.
I saw batsmen trying to reverse sweep in test.
Reserve-sweep can be a useful shot; however,
most of the batsmen I saw using it in test were frustrated from not scoring.
Cricket batting calls for flexibility, yeah I know.
like I tell my training officers,
'Learn to do things technically correct, before taking short-cuts.'

Not every batsman is a Warner, Sir Viv, Gayle or Sehwag.
