Bancroft hits 151 on Durham one-day debut

LONDON: Cameron Bancroft hit an unbeaten 151 on his one-day debut for Durham as the disgraced Australia batsman started to repay the English county’s faith in him.Bancroft was banned for nine months after being caught in the Australia ball-tampering scandal during their tour to South Africa last year. The ‘sandpaper-gate’ incident during the Newlands Test against South Africa also led to Bancroft’s Australia team-mates Steve Smith and David Warner receiving year-long suspensions.After returning in Australia’s Big Bash League in December, and playing a role in the back end of Western Australia’s current Sheffield Shield campaign, Bancroft has joined up with Durham with a view to making Australia’s Ashes squad.Durham, now under a new Australian director of cricket in Marcus North, attracted criticism in some quarters when they recruited Bancroft. But he was controversially appointed Durham captain and, making his maiden limited-overs appearance, Bancroft piled up the runs in their One-Day Cup clash with Northamptonshire on Wednesday. Bancroft plundered five sixes and eight fours in a 188-minute stay at the crease.
