Bancroft's mixed messaging is a best odd at worst malicious. Not sure why, perhaps his next MCC contract depends on knifing the backs he thought he was once a part of!
Was Bancroft ever a obvious choice for test selection, we know he had a power of runs, but I can't say he ever looked comfortable as a potential test batsmen even at Shield level. Is the current situation what you get when guys get rewarded test spots without the obvious skills to retain it, and then feel spurned when they are discarded?
Would Smith returning as captain make this situation better or worse?
