Love to take Darcy Short to SA just for the experiment, reminds me of Warner but I think has a better technique than the early Warner.....dont see Bancroft working out, if you cant make runs on our roads vs a pitiful attack I dont see much future vs SA...think he toured there with Aus A but dont know how he went...
Bancroft looked ok at times but that flaw in his technique was horribly exposed. He had periods he batted for a long time got to 25 then that flaw got him out. He'd need to correct that and until then he won't survive in SA. Sort that out and he'll go ok but he'll need to go back to first class cricket. Won't be the first batsman to be dropped, come back and become a star but he has work to do first. We'll probably have to go with Renshaw. He looks to have a good technique and values his wicket. We'd just have to gamble his form slump was just a good old fashioned run of outs and he comes good. Even if he makes 20 he'll take 70 balls and take the shine off the ball.
