Youngest to resign since Hughes as well?Youngest Australian Captain since Kim Hughes.
I assume you think the same about Martin Crowe when he led a pre-meditated ball tampering tactic in Pakistan in 1990?He's an average captain and cheat to boot. Aussies should have given him the flick earlier, maybe then you wouldn't have seen the day your reputation is left in tatters.
Don't care, back then it was acceptable and easy to get away with. If you hear cricketers from that time speak of it, they talk it like it was the norm with every team doing it. Obviously in today's world it's not with how people view pushing the rules and the cameras all over grounds to catch players in the act.I assume you think the same about Martin Crowe when he led a pre-meditated ball tampering tactic in Pakistan in 1990?

Goes back longer than that. Every captain in recent times seems to have taken a poor element of the captain they played under. Ponting could be an incessant sledger and petulant as well.Gerard Whately has just said that he thought CA wouldve appointed Cam White or another senoir player to oversee Smith's captaincy in his early days.
Also remarked how the appointment of Clarke over Katich was the start of a team taking the wrong "track".
I know Haydos strongly recommended that Clarke not be made Captain shortly after retiring. Don't know about Katich being a shout but I think there were two competing camps in CA on Clarke's captaincy.Goes back look ne'er than that. Every captain in recent times seems to have taken a poor element of the captain they played under. Ponting could be an incessant sledges and petulant as well.
And does anyone think Katich was a chance of being made captain? Clarke had been groomed for that position from day one.
Gee, lay off Mr Ponting , he was a extremely competitive cricketer, who set high standards,Goes back look ne'er than that. Every captain in recent times seems to have taken a poor element of the captain they played under. Ponting could be an incessant sledges and petulant as well.

Biggest issue with this side is they seemed to think talking a good game meant half the battle was already won, i don't really care who sledges and who doesn't but you need to also bat and bowl well and we haven't.
Since the tea time incident in the first test we have looked rattled and our cricket has been awful, the idea of the talk is to get your opponents off their game but it's not some magic wand to cover for your own piss poor on field play and our lot seemed to have a gigantic hissy fit when the bluster and bravado didn't break SA.
SA have been strong mentally and on field and shown their class

Been the better cricket side, definitely.
Didn’t wilt, hit us hard and found a way to get under Warner’s skin and he couldn’t take it.

It goes back a lot longer than that, some might say even pre- 1900. Not to tar every Australian captain with the same brush, but gee some people are ****ing naive.Goes back longer than that.

Haydos says a lot of things, none of which have any value whatsoever.I know Haydos strongly recommended that Clarke not be made Captain shortly after retiring. Don't know about Katich being a shout but I think there were two competing camps in CA on Clarke's captaincy.
The NSW cricket mafia definitely conspired to make Finch, White and Bailey not good enough to play more than a few tests. What will these evildoers think of next? Hang on, Finch has barely even been a shield regular for most of his career.Cam would not have been chosen as he was not from NSW
Aaron finch Cam white and esp George Bailey were all hung out to dry as capt's( not born in NSW)
after Clarke ,esp George ,34, who is still the best captain in Australia, should have been made capt of test team ,He already was 1 day and t20 capt.and stevie could have been his VC, and learnt from the master. They were all seen as a threat by the NSW news mafia ( george only payed 5 tests, and with a longer stint at it would have finished with great ave.
but we end up with smith and warner holdind all duties

In some ways a lot of our other blokes are lucky all this happened, instead of a sharp focus being on the indifferent bowling, the batting collapses and the continued poor fielding all the focus is on ball tampering.
Why isn't Ponting an option considering Bancroft came from the Langer stable?Hopefully some sanity will eventually prevail once the hysteria dies down; I'm looking for the following;
1. Smith & Warner removed from leadership positions - the latter permanently
2. Lehmann's tenure as coach conclude at the end of this Test Series (brought forward)
3. Langer installed as Coach (Ponting isn't an option)
4. Paine installed as Captain
5. For the next five years - upholding the Spirit of Cricket MUST be first and foremost in any Australian Team - playing hard but fair must take a back seat for a time - too much damage has been done to the game
Go away, just a stupid commentKatich is just a slightly smarter version of Warner.
