It's clear what Bancroft needs to do. Move to Victoria.

Eh he has test failures, a clear obvious technique flaw and has had a chance in County and for A teams to demand selection and at times failed.Which suggests there are other issues at play other than just scoring runs.
I agree, but if they go with Harris or Renshaw, who have their own history of failures and flaws, I think it's more to do with 2018 and team dynamics. If they decide to pick Green by justifying it as the six best bats available, then shuffle the order to accommodate, then maybe it is just flaws.Eh he has test failures, a clear obvious technique flaw and has had a chance in County and for A teams to demand selection and at times failed.
Now i have no issue with him getting the gig post Warner, but i think it is fair why selectors are far from convinced he is a long term answer.
I don't think so, In the last 12 months Bancroft has averaged 46 in all first class cricket and Matt Renshaw 56. Bancroft failed in country cricket, did not look good in the PM's game. Add in the age gap between Bancroft and Renshaw and i think you can understand why they may lean his way. Now Bancroft has dominated shield cricket and that counts for something.I agree, but if they go with Harris or Renshaw, who have their own history of failures and flaws, I think it's more to do with 2018 and team dynamics.

as if he's getting a game ahead of Travis Dean...The same things were said about Chris Rogers.

I dunno, where there's smoke, there's fire. And there's a lot of people talking it up right now, Ed Cowan adding his voice.Green has nothing to do with the price of fish here. They will not reshuffle the batting order to accommodate Green. Head has been told he won't be moving from 5, and Smith and Marnus aren't moving either. When Warner goes they will pick an specialist batsman to replace him.
As I said before if the replacement comes down to Bancroft renshaw Harris or green .. I would pick greenie hands downI dunno, where there's smoke, there's fire. And there's a lot of people talking it up right now, Ed Cowan adding his voice.
I'd just pick Bancroft, but I can see a situation where Marnus opens with Usman, Smith at 3, Green at 4, Head at 5, March at 6. Kicks the can down the road a little while they prepare for Usman to move on.

You seem to see 'WA bias' everywhere you look. Is it in the room with you now?I think its more you are letting your state bias cloud things, seems like you have decided its bancrofts spot to lose and the only one worthy to take it outside him would be another west aussie in green, when you start from a position like that then yes its easy to convince yourself any other outcome must be based on something outside cricket.
Reality is none of bancroft renshaw or harris have done job in multiple chances at test cricket and the are all very lucky our stocks are so thin as we should have moved on from all of them by now, the one of the three who gets yet another chance will be lucky to get it but that doesnt make the two who miss out unlucky by any means.

If Bancroft hadn't used the sandpaper when he did, he was surely close to being dropped anyway. Very underwhelming form.You said this an earlier post about if bancroft wasnt selected " if they go with Harris or Renshaw, who have their own history of failures and flaws, I think it's more to do with 2018 and team dynamics" now maybe im wrong and that unreasonable stance isnt just state bias but just a very bad reading of whole situation but you are still wrong to assume bancroft is so clearly the front runner only external issues could be at play to keep him out of the side.

I said in the very post you quoted I'd just pick Bancroft, so no, I wouldn't do it. Bancroft is in good form in Australian conditions and two Tests against a weaker West Indies could boost his confidence.At the risk of repeating previous posts, you think we should reshuffle all the batters who average 45 plus at Test cricket for someone who averages less than 35? We should move an all time great out of his preferred position to accommodate someone who is only a handy contributor at Test level?
Marsh is not likely to be in the team for long, Green will be back - and batting at 6. Green at 4 is a post Smith idea and also assumes that Green starts to deliver with the bat at Test level.
Nope nothing of the sortSorry I see it too.
The answer is drop Marsh for Green, but can't do that because because....
We need an opener the answer has to be Bancroft because.....
We need to reshuffle all our gun batters for Cameron Green's sake because......
And neither Marsh or Green are in the best seven bats in the country, they are all rounders and picked because they bat and bowl.
We are talking about blokes who won't play much further part moving forward. Bancroft, Renshaw and Harris are not good enough to be regular openers.If Bancroft hadn't used the sandpaper when he did, he was surely close to being dropped anyway. Very underwhelming form.

Is the Perth hard bouncing wicket a myth these days?
The far more likely scenario is Marsh being dropped after a couple of dud tests. He wont have a long leash.I dunno, where there's smoke, there's fire. And there's a lot of people talking it up right now, Ed Cowan adding his voice.

Cameron Bancroft was Australia's highest run scorer in that series, despite only playing three tests when others played four.If Bancroft hadn't used the sandpaper when he did, he was surely close to being dropped anyway. Very underwhelming form.
