Whatever it takes!!!
Hey, Nayan Mongia did it. So y not Bancroft?Yeah exactly. Play all the best bats in positions vaguely suited, let Beancoft average 33 opening and put in 7/10 keeping efforts.
Who cares if it's mean? It's Bancroft.

52 extras is a very hefty contribution, second top scorer in fact. I think Pakistan may regret that.

Engineer did it and he was actually *good* at keeping!

Even the one he took showed that. He's just not a natural and hands are too hard. Two drops in one inning.

He dropped one in the first Test that was truly putrid as well.

Feel like Australia's bowlers haven't bounced these two openers well enough. They both looked dreadful against the short stuff in the world cup.

It's four overs in. May as well use the new ball first.
Aahhh, just clicked "Uncle Fester"

I think our bowlers simply move the ball less. Was quite noticeable the last couple of India series.

Reckon Lyon isn't quite getting through his action as he was before the injury.

Honestly yes. To make a change as of right now would be far too kneejerky for my liking, his batting form has been under par but I wouldn't say that is quite at major problem stage... yet.
Deserves at least the rest of the summer imo. After that however it is probably a fair conversation to have if things don't pick up for him
Yeah exactly. Play all the best bats in positions vaguely suited, let Beancoft average 33 opening and put in 7/10 keeping efforts.
Who cares if it's mean? It's Bancroft.
See the theory, but I don't back Bancroft to be able to do either of those things
Especially not the keeping part, I still remember well when he had the gloves for Australia in a JAMT20 a while back. It was not a pretty sight
Well they dropped Carey after 1 WC game so don't see the difference. Just select the best keeper/batsman in the country which is Peirson or Inglis, definitely not Carey this year

I am mostly taking the piss but I would actually secretly select Whiteman to do this in a world where I was a cricket dictator with no accountability.
