Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3582991, member: 9052"] One thing I will say about Renshaw is that I think he's been hard done by in his career to date... not so much in shield but in his opportunities for the test team. Out of him, Bancroft and Harris, he's the only one that has played more away tests than home tests and is averaging 64 in Australia, by far the best of the 3. In the away series he's played mostly in India (literally the hardest away series there is for Australians) with 6 matches, but he's also pulled together 2x 50's in those conditions. His other away series was in Bangladesh who are also tricky for Australians. He then got brought over at the 11th hour to play in South Africa after sandpaper gate on a hiding to absolutely nothing. So he's basically been given one shot with the 2016 series in Australia, where he killed it, then he was straight into India and Bangladesh away. He also took it upon himself to play in the England County comp and did quite well over there I believe... so he's potentially an opener that can be very good in Australian conditions, capable in England and possibly Sth Africa (similar conditions to Australia), and has then showed he could be at least handy in subcontinent conditions, given I think he's a better player of spin than pace and was able to pull together 2x 50's in his first test series in India and was Australia's 2nd highest run scorer behind only Smudge for that series. Ultimately I think his development has been mishandled by Australia and they've let a pretty promising player be squandered, all because his initial criticisms were "[I]he doesn't score quick enough or through the off side[/I]".
