Dont see it with Bancroft, doesnt have the technique at test level IMO, not convinced about the Marsh bros either, these wickets have been roads and the Poms attack is rubbish.
I like Marcus Harris ahead of Bancroft, more shots and more compact vs the moving ball IMO..
Agree on Bird, lacks pace and lacked penetration like the English quicks....
Khawaja is a decent player IMO but has looked shaky initially when he starts his innings. this cant play spin thematic seems to have ruined his confidence...his feet are not moving to get behind the ball and his good shots seem to find the field all the time.
re: Sydney test ...Wonder if we might go Agar if Starc doesnt play.....
