Bancroft in the runs again, Langer still thinks he could come in at Renshaws expense
Hasnāt Bancroft put his name up as opener, number 6 and also as a replacement keeper? Heās the answer to all our holes apparently

I agree with Paz, currently she is the best in world cricket.
She may not be by the end of summer though.
Doesnāt surprise me that you agree with pazza.
She had a very good game. She had some pretty mediocre ODIs.
Iād rate the Indian woman, is it Harmonpeet Kaur, as a better bat. And maybe a few male cricketers.
Sheās certainly the best to play international ricket and international soccer in the last 20 years.
Best in her field but Iām not getting into any arguments about the standard or Womenās cricket
Whut?!?!?
Let her face the Aus menās test attack and see how many runs she gets. Ditto bowling to the menās test batting line up.
Agree she is the best womenās cricketer in the World. But thatās where it ends.
Utterly taking the p*ss for anyone that thinks legitimatley in their right mind that she is the best batter in the world for mens. Utterly insane and if it needs explaining youāre a deadset moron.

Sarah Taylor who was the ICC Womenās player of the year in 2015 came over and played for my local district club in SA. Played mainly B grade and hardly made a run and was gifted a game in the A grade and kept ok but was horrid with the bat. As good as Perry is she wouldnāt make a run in any A grade district comp let alone at Shield level

Perry is the best female cricketer in the world. But as for best cricketer (both sexes) in the worldā¦pls

Some serious question marks about Renshawās form at the moment. Failed again today.
I think they will still give him a go in the first test, but if he fails there, Bancroft will come in IMO.
Waugh has all but come out and said he is playing the first test. They are just disappointed he didnāt make runs to take the pressure off.

Bancroft averaging 99 in the Shield this season and a better keeper than Wade, by weight of numbers he has to come under consideration. Even as a pure batter Iād rather have him at 5 or 6 than guys like Maxwell or Henriques

Iād go:
Renshaw
Warner
Khawaja
Smith
Handscomb
Bancroft (keeper)
Maxwell
Starc
Cummins
Hazlewood
Lyon

Whoever they pick as ākeeper, I just hope they stick with them for the entire series.
Thatās pretty much how it will go. Aside from Bancroft, the only other āiffyā one is Maxwell, Iām not sure heās done enough to be picked. The thing that heās got going for him and s that there isnāt anyone else who is banging on the door.
Itās a small sample though, only 2.5 Shield games and it wiuld be considered a gamble if they go that way. Might be a gamble worth taking unless Nevill tons-up in Brisbane.
I would have Cartwright over Maxwell (which bumps Bancroft down to 7) at this point, but otherwise yep.
Thereās probably really only 2 spots up for grabs, 6 and WK.
