Paine impressed with stoic Bancroft knock

Supplied video obtained Friday, July 26, 2019, of Australia Test captain Tim Paine speaking to the media following the third and final day of the intra-squad match in Southampton. Paine talks about Cameron Bancroft's match-winning 93 and says it was an "unbelievable" effort. "What it showed is Bangers' toughness. The reason the guys were getting stuck on the crease a lot is because the odd ball was jumping up at them ... (the pitch was) bordering on dangerous. It wasn't ideal. That can play on a guy's mind ... particularly when they are bowling the speeds our guys were. "To keep going forward, to keep wearing balls on the body, he was superb. "The boys think he has a bit of a screw loose but he seems to enjoy getting hit on the body, it seems to make him bat better." (AAP VIDEO/Supplied/Cricket Australia)
