But bancroft

With Cameron Bancroft: Retired Australia opener David Warner believes opener Cameron Bancroft’s planted front foot while batting against pacers is a technical flaw which will lead to him struggling against India’s bowling attack in the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

Bancroft, who played ten Tests so far, has been the leading run-getter in last two seasons of the Sheffield Shield and has been seen as the leading candidate to open the batting alongside Usman Khawaja in the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy series, starting on November 22 in Perth.

But Bancroft, 31, hasn’t set the scoreboard alight by registering scores of 0, 0, 8, 2, 0 and 16 in the ongoing Sheffield Shield and Australia A series against India A. "There’s no air speed at the moment in Shield cricket, and you’re playing at venues that don’t bounce. With Cameron Bancroft, his foot’s still out to point. If someone was bowling 145km/h, he’s still going to make the same mistake.
