As I've said NONE of Renshaw, Harris, Bancroft should have got one. NONE.
There's just no need
Yes I can understand that Luke but you still haven't answered the question as to why Harris got one over Bancroft
thats what I don't get
If you compare the two players
bancroft has scored more shield tons in the past two years ..leading runscorer in the shield
bancroft provides a Right hand option at the top that gives you left right hand openers
bancroft better fielder ...great slipper and great backpad plus he can backup as keeper with the gloves if needed..
Harris provides very little for me.....maybe his experience playing in county conditions ???

I dislike Harris and he is very ordinary at best but he's been around the squad the last year, he's always going to be ahead unfortunately. Look is Bancroft better maybe, but he hasn't played a test in how long? No. He's not getting a contract mate.

can understand it they did the same with Cummins when he was injured on repeat. Let him focus on recovery.
Two years ago there was 17 on this list, and now there's 25.
Considering you can earn a contract by playing a certain number of games for Australia, I'm not sure why the larger number is necessary.
And I'd love to know the last person to be given a contract before having played for Australia. I've gone back a few years and haven't found one yet.

Yep 24 is ridiculous
Literally about 6-7 are ridiculous. I love Inglis but how is he contracted.

Nathan Ellis keeps on being forgotten about.

Nathan Ellis keeps on being forgotten about.
Not forgotten but his 50 over stats are not anywhere near as good

The decline of Tassie cricket is complete.
I'd say there's more of an imperative to award contracts to fast bowlers and all-rounders to manage their workload (assuming it works the same in Aus as in England). None of the fringe openers warranted one on performances. Inglis I can understand because if Carey goes down, they'd need someone at short notice to fill in (unless Handscomb was already there).
Which middle order batsmen in the Shield average over 40 over a decent number of games? Hardie? Who else?

No.
"West Australian all-rounder Cameron Green has been elevated to his first full contract after playing all four Tests against India last summer and leading all-comers in the Marsh Sheffield Shield with 922 runs at 76.83, including three centuries."

Fair enough would have been the only one I could think might have
Might have been Pat in 2011.
Be interesting to see who hits the ground running over in County cricket...Harris v Bancroft.
Is Renshaw playing for Somerset again?
A few players probably on their last contracts - Maxwell, Stoinis, Warner, and Hazlewood.....the latter needs to get on the park more...and the first three really need to deliver on the park, especially in a big series or competition.

Do county sides have a limit on how many overseas players they can sign up.Not good for future English cricketers if their county sides have to many overseas players playing.

Yes there are limits forget what it is exactly
Renshaw had his opportunity on Australia’s flattest pitch and blew it.
As for Bancroft making more runs than Harris, yeah you’d hope so given he has actually been playing whilst Harris flew around the country carrying the drinks…

Are you referring to the Sydney test? Didn't exactly blew out, he made 5 not out and then they declared...

LoL I get you lot don't like Harris but his numbers are a fair bit superior almost every season. Over 5 First Class years Harris averages about 55 to Renshaws 32.

Left out overnight
I see Marcus Harris got 59 and 148 against Glamorgan last week.
Cant say I recognise any of the Glamorgan bowlers of note.....
