No he does not need to. But if it annoys the opposition then he can point it as much as he likes. He is the best batsman that anyone on this forum has ever seen live.
First real test for the Aussies this summer, see how the rest of them go.

Bancroft should be banished now and put some time in to trav head to bat 5 he is a class above when he is on and it will pay dividends in years to come. He will play test cricket for aust for a long time so get the kid in there now.
But still doesn't solve the problem why we r struggling to fill the opening spot with warner. But short term give marsh another crack up the top.
Soz Robran but you don't shift blokes around to fill holes, Marsh is settled, not a 10 year prospect at the top of the order.
Bancroft isn't up to it, knicks behind to much which says he can't handle a swinging ball, Renshaw couldn't make a run earlier in the year but looked fantastic from day dot when he debuted, probably should have gave him the ashes series regardless.
No SS cricketer has stood up and said pick me.
Agreed, really need to keep Marsh at 5 as he's settled there now. But I can see him being promoted to open and Handscomb will slot into 5 if they want to drop Bancroft.
And in terms of SS batsman putting their hand up for selection, Maxwell is perhaps the next inline but he's really only a number 6 at international level. Our lack of top order batsman depth that could likely play test cricket is a concern.Computer Crashed wrote:BoundaryRider84 wrote:Bancroft not up to it........Put Renshaw on the next plane
What I find astonishing is out of our whole country we don't have 2 walk up start opening batsmen.
Warner - yes, but we are still searching since Langer & Hayden retired.
Why ?
Looking at the guys in the SS- Renshaw obviously next inline then you have Weatherald, Harris and Burns after that. Decent shield players but again depth is a concern.

No, he's not at all. He's in some exceptional form at the moment, has been for about 2 years, actually. He is however almost unbearable to watch.
Ponting, Lara, Kohli, Dravid, Sehwag. M.Waugh I'd rather watch make runs than Smith.
