Has not really batted much in the middle order except in limited overs games though tbh. Just happened to top score for Aus A batting at 6 the other day.
Don't get me wrong I don't think he's terrible for the role but I'm just pointing out he's not really a keeper and his first class experience in the middle order is limited.
I guess finding a guy who has actually batted opener and middle order consistently would be nearly impossible.
Just a gut feeling as I feel his weakness (the swinging ball early and moving across his pad) would be a lot less batting at 5. Thought was very comfortable the other day and also in limited overs cricket.
I wouldn't want Bancroft keeping, but in an emergency I'm fine with it.
