I thought Durham signing Bancroft was a bit iffy, but making him captain in 2 comps seems incomprehensible. But having thought about it, Durham have been down in the doldrums and maybe this is a tactic to stir up some controversy, get some publicity, and push the club into the limelight.
If Bancroft weighs in heavily with the runs and Durham are promoted then all could be well. Think he will still get a lot of shit threw at him by English crowds and the media though.
