That's what they said about Hussey!

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

I’m really not sure what to think

 

[The Voice Of Reason]

Never said a word against him me .....

Blatantly an innocent party in it all anyway. That bully Warner made him do it, what else was Bancroft meant to do

 

[willo]

We must need a few doors sanded down. Not sure about this, he's clearly a talented cricketer but after the incident I'm just not sure

 

[wayne entwhistle no9]

Well my first reaction to seeing this is they must have got him on the cheap.

 

[GordonMuchallNo1Fan]

Can't say I'm happy if I'm honest.

 

[Struts]

Next season is going to be a good 'un. I can feel it.

 

[Sandboy]

less than 30 mins and I get a mail from Oz

So what little publicity a county cricket team gets at the start of the season, Durhams will all be about Bancroft and the rights and wrongs of signing him.

 

[Jack Torrance]

Good signing

 

[Bri]

The least culpable. Deserves a chance (even bad boys do), good signing, all for it.

 

[Carl and the Passions]

Or The Ashes.

Decent chance for the Ashes I reckon. He’s never played an ODI so I reckon the World Cup is pretty unlikely.

Statement also refers to expecting Latham to be unavailable ….. leaves an opening for him for the T20, perhaps.

Solves the gap in the top order though, however, Cook and Markram found it difficult to settle in the first half of the season.

It's an August/September Ashes series as well, if he does well in the first half of the season he'll be a likely pick.

Not sure about this.

With Lees and now Bancroft, I wonder if we’ll see Steel down at 3?

 

[rentaghost]

Young lad made a terrible error of judgement. He deserves a second chance and hes a good cricketer. fair points about the likelihood of Ashes picks though.
