He used to get bowled a fair bit earlier in his career
He then started covering his stumps to stop getting bowled
Now he is getting out LBW almost exclusively compared to bowled
So , well answered it is a technical fault as much as anything
But give him credit , he has batted well enough in this series , and he has only been out LBW once in just under 350 runs
Wrong.
He was dismissed almost twice as many times LBW as he was BOWLED in the early part of his career...

Not sure If I'm wrong Phantom?
Point being he used to get bowled often enough in his first half to three quarters of his career
To eradicate that he now covers his stumps more the last 2 or so years or about last 25% of his career
Hence 7LBWs in a row and no bowleds

Haddin with another great knock. 5 tests, 5 first innings 50s. I can't imagine anyone wanting better when you realise that his keeping has been near faultless and each time he's scored runs we've been in trouble. Somewhat strange time and manner of dismissal though. I just wonder whether he was in two minds about attacking or taking the easy singles the POMs had given him.
Smith needs to go on here. I don't mind your number 7 counter attacking out of trouble and making 50s, but you bat 5 you have to go on with it. No need to panic with the way our tail has gone all series. 350 looks good, 400+ not out of the question.

You indicated that he used to get bowled earlier in his career then he started covering his stumps to avoid getting bowled.
My point is that LBW was already a common mode of dismissal early in his career before and during the bowled phase.
Understand he doesnt get bowled these days, and hasnt for a while, but the LBW issue is as prevalent as ever..
