Renshaw failed again... QLD 2 down with only 5 runs on the board....Double hungy....Welcome to our new Wicketkeeper Bancroft.
Renshaw will open Cartwright will bat 7, Bancroft 6.
It will happen.
The philosophy should be this - is Bancroft a better opener right now than he is a wicketkeeper? The answer would seem to be a resounding Yes. Is he in better form at the top of the order than the incumbent Renshaw? Again, a resounding Yes. Is his keeping better than Nevill's? Questionable at best. Hence, you would think Bancroft should get the gig as an opener
The job of the top 6 is to pile on the most runs they can. Having Renshaw in the top 6 in his current form does not really represent the best chance of doing that. So I think Bancroft should open, Cartwright at 6 and Nevill to keep and bat 7.... But I'll probably have a different opinion tomorrow! LOL... Who knows, maybe our little battler Matty Wade can score a blistering 14 or 15 in Tassie's 2nd innings and put himself right back in to calculations!!!
