There are technical flaws but the main problem is mental. When things are tough out there in the middle, you may struggle for runs, but in test match cricket you just have to hang in there and wait..... and wait.... and wait. Eventually it will get easier to get runs. But if you don't have patience when things get tough you will start playing loose shots in search for quick runs, trying to hit your way out of trouble. This is what Bang does because they are not mental tough enough. Look at Sangakkara's comments on cricinfo today, he said it was not easy to score runs early on, but he just wanted to occupy and not make the same mistake he did in the 1st test.
