Didn't realise he was a scouser.

For context, that's 9th, 8th and 5th best in the squad. He's actually kept more in-form batsmen out of the team, e.g. Eckersley (who has been fantastic this season, much underrated), Dickson and Clarke. I would rather sign Will Young as our overseas next season.
beg to differ. He's a decent player, no more. Expect the overseas signing to offer much more than that.
Averaged 13 from 13 innings in the Sheffield Shield in 19/20 ,18th out of 22 in squad. He's had more than one dodgy season. The fact he keeps wicket is a bonus though. Keeping him on makes it easier to get shot of Poynter.
See above. Averaged 13 in the following season for W.A. His form is a bit up and down.
I saw it. It hasn’t altered my opinion.
Who’s isnt? Didn’t Joe Root just go something like 18 months without a test hundred? I agree with the others, he’s a decent option for us and I don’t think we’ll attract better. He’ll be as gutted as anyone at how bad this season was for him
Root still averaged over 40 in that time.
Very poor by his lofty heights of 2021
You quoted 2019 for 'perspective' so I quoted 2019/20.
But still very good compared to the off seasons Bancroft has had.
Aha, the point being - he’s done it before, he could do it again. Class is permanent and all that.
No the point is his form has been up and down on a season by season basis. The suggestion that this season was a 'one off' is inaccurate.
