lol. for one, he's playing away from the body off the backfoot. then the angle of his bat is such that it increases the chances of the ball popping up in the air rather than sliding along the ground.
the fact that all three of his stumps are exposed, along with the position of his bat also shows that he was either unable to get behind a ball that pitched around middle/off stump (he'll be in danger if he does that in a test match against a moving ball), or that he did get behind the ball, except that it pitched on or outside leg and deserved to be glanced away or defended on the on side.
then again, this is just a picture, and doesn't tell you the point of impact, i.e. this might be way after the ball had hit the bat. besides, bashar's never been technically sound - it's always been all about the hand-eye coordination. whatever works
