Cricket: Pat Cummins says Australia is unlikely to implement any changes despite a humbling loss to India in the first Test,
Aussies unlikely to make changes | 01:35Former Test opener Cameron Bancroft has overcome a horror slump with the bat by cracking an unbeaten century during Western Australia ’s day-night Sheffield Shield match against South Australia at Adelaide Oval.
He cracked seven boundaries throughout his patient knock of 105 not out before Western Australia declared on 3-243, setting the hosts an unlikely target of 364 for victory.Bancroft was one of the Sheffield Shield’s most consistent batters across the previous two summers, compiling 1728 runs at 54.00 during that period, including ten hundreds.
However, the right-hander fell out of contention after a nightmare run of form with the bat, compiling scores of 0, 0, 8, 2, 0, 16, 3, 0, 12, 11 and 0 and averaging 4.73 across matches for Western Australia and Australia A. Subsequently, national selectors turned to uncapped South Australian Nathan McSweeney, who made his Test debut in last week’s series opener at Perth Stadium.
