What is your view on Cameron Bancroft?

Being honest... I have heard he makes the most amazing muffins and is a dab hand around the house but he is from the South side and a habitual philanderer in life, happiness won't find him soon... !

Cricket wise... ? He has the opportunity to make a place for himself as Smith is scoring freely he can relax and dig in a bit without feeling under pressure; get that average up pick out the bad ball and don't get out cheaply. HE could play himself into a good international career.

It really helps though when as a team you have the best batsman in the world and three very ferocious bowlers and a decent spinner.......

Correct and the important thing is that all these players perform collectively to support each other most of the times. Remember, Pakistan used to have Inzy, Anwar, Saqlain, Wasim, Waqar and Shoaib at the same time, Far superior to current Australian lineup but the team effort was missing, Same can be said about India. I think as far as teamwork is concerned, Australia has excelled in this department more than any other team in the world in my opinion. The other teams have done it in patches not that consistently.

I liked his attitude.Bancroft is very much same as Juntin Langer.Two incident with Bairstow and Anderson showed his character.But When the selectors left out Mark Renshaw to roped Bancroft,this make no sense to me.How can you drop your best opener on Sheffield Sheild form?

Renshaw is from Queensland... I don't care...

Only joking, depends on the management and if they feel they want to blood more players never get stuck with untested players the more depth you have in the squad the better you are in preparation. England have been found lacking just look a Cook (terrible) who is coming in for him... ?

 

[Mijurkat]

I think Cook must play for England.As per England Lions,Keaton Jennings can replace him.A backfoot player with lots of talent,bit like Marcus Trescothick.

I have a feeling Warner is gonna click in the next two Tests. I have often seen him come good in dead rubbers.

Not just that but he's scored tons of runs at the MCG and his home ground, the SCG. Hopefully we'll see another special knock from Warner. He has seemed a bit patchy this series and unlike himself as we haven't seen much of his aggressive side.

 

[blockerdave]

Frankly disgraceful that all of Cook, Ali, Woakes and Broad remained in the team.

 

[Dutch]

Toothless, clueless, courageless....for all the talk of being in it England are just a bunch of boys and has beens....nothing whatsoever to cheer about....Root coming out with this crap about being in the game.....where? How? Which stats back this up over the last three games.....

 

[Ahmad94]

God Warner really is a beast. Never thought that an aggressive player brought into the Australia side for his T20 skills would ever be such a quality (and complete) test cricketer let alone an opener.

 

[Ahmad94]

Just realised that half of Anderson's over in the middle of the test has been around the high 120 - low 130. Make sense why Australia are finding it easier to get going when England's bowlers are able to push the batsmen back.

 

[Ahmad94]

Ohh, the no-ball and Warner out on 99. This is what the Ashes are all about - the beauty of test cricket.

 

[Rehan_24]

Aussies are burying England this Ashes... meanwhile, a buzz is circulating around Cricket Australia media that Smith is the best batsman in the world...

In test cricket, no one comes close to him.

In LO, Im sure they were joking.
