I know this question may make sound stupid. But i only really started watching cricket in 2009.
I was wondering what is meant by a sound technique. When commentators and fans say this batsmen is technically correct. What do they mean??

Three centuries, two technically correct players, one catastrophically incorrect technique. Guess which.

Ian bell. i could watch him bat all day. Imagine a middle order of Vaughan, Bell and Sangakkara. Awesome.
a correct technique means you play shots as the textbook would tell you. this often means that you don't have a particular strong area, but rather you are strong all around the wicket.

A sound technique is when you are able to give minimum chance to a bowler of getting you out and yet you score runs at a good flow and pace.
