It’s interesting that we seem to be picking bowlers on form and pitch but remain reluctant to change the batsmen ?

Reluctant?
They have dropped 2 x top order batsmen already?
Agree, they need more options but you can only have so many on tour.

Why Bancroft and M Marsh were originally selected to tour is more the issue

Bancroft had every right to be picked, do your homework JH:

17, 93*   Hick XII   v Haddin XII   Southampton   23 Jul 2019   Other
8, 28   Durham   v Worcs   Chester-le-Street   13 Jul 2019   FC
36, 109   Durham   v Leics   Leicester   7 Jul 2019   FC
77, 92*   Durham   v Lancashire   Sedbergh   30 Jun 2019   FC
158, 5   Durham   v Sussex   Hove   24 Jun 2019   FC

Issue with Bancroft is his technique, hasnt changed, test average of 26
Joe Burns has a test average of 40 with 4 centuries....Bancroft got a gig thanks to Langar.
Burns should have been in the touring party if you are going on stats...

We've won.

Great effort from a side that has been criticised since it was announced.

Special mention for Steve Smith, the best batsman in the world right now.

I thought that Paine captained with more confidence than he showed on the last day of the last Test. Perhaps he has learnt from the experience.
