Head and Uzzy… KILLLERRZZZ
Australia needs a captain who's handsome (but not too handsome): Step forward, Watto
Chappelli is a ghost now?

Evidence please or it’s libel.
Regardless of what you think of Paine, he deserves some mercy
Travis Head record is only about 1/2 as good as Labs in every domain, for the same number of innings, away from the new ball and 2 not outs.
And you want him to be captain? How is he more established? He might come good with more pressure?????

Head is an average middle order player and handy bowler, but there are better coming through.
'I'm always cooked bowling': Pat once shared captaincy concern, but on verge of top job after CA interview
I don’t understand why everyone thinks Marnus is “developing”
Clearly the strongest player in the country.
See my post above comparing him to Travis Head, who some forum folks should be captain, despite having about 1/2 as good a record.

Hopefully Head will play freely at and get som runs, god bowling option too. Time to lose the full time Offy and get Swepson or maybe Sangha in there.
Labs should Captain, he would step up and has no ambivalence, which I fear Pat does.
Same age and full on attitude as Chappelli when he started as skipper.

I have been advocating for Lauschagne to captain for about a year.
He leads by performance and is an inspiring match winner. More in the game than any player, bar Maxi.
ALL the other bats are looking over their shoulder. ONLY Manus looks ahead.
I’m not strongly against PC, he is my second choice and a good VC.
CA will choose Cummins, saying Marnus, 27 and 5mths, just 1 yr younger, is immature.
Ian Chappell was 27 and 4 mths. I reckon they do not have the guts to choose a captain who would seek to shape the team the way Chappelli did.
These guys were only 22-25
Younis, GSmith, Cook, Fleming, many many more

What does the Tim Paine scandal mean for Australia? Five burning questions after captain's bombshell
Last Saturday night I got married
Me and my wife settled down
But me and my wife have parted
I’m gonna take another stroll downtown
What does the Tim Paine scandal mean for Australia? Five burning questions after captain's bombshell
I would hope he would tell you and all other no talent droopy old cocks where they fan put any condescending “fatherly advice” ????
No offence meant really????. I really think we should give the talent & hot blood a rush at it. Playing it safe, that shit sounds like 80’s England.

Everyone on here knows what a great captain Warne was. But he missed out because of perceived OTT character.
Anyone remember Chapelli?
Labuschagne is exactly what we need. He doesn’t care about walk the CA line ( or pretending to) . He wants to set his own course, take the team somewhere, so motivated. Smith was only ever motivated for himself, thats (mostly) ok for a bat.
Let’s face it, the test team has been going nowhere for far too long.
What does the Tim Paine scandal mean for Australia? Five burning questions after captain's bombshell
Tell me a match winning performance from Paine?.
That is what a leader is made of. The Australian cricket team has led from the stands for too long.
Marnus is the man. He is hungry and has the drive and the match winning results tell us who he is results all the rest are looking sideways.
Only hubris filled idiots would pass up the chance to unleash him, oh, wait…
I guess it’s inevitable. Except for Kyrgios, and he acts alone, CA have become the greatest wasters of talent and opportunity I have seen in sports.

We should blood as many young players as possible.
The old pack are finished.
Get Carder: Kerry O'Keeffe's huge Ashes opener call, Marsh pushes for return
Marsh said.
“In all honesty, I’m probably a few back in the pack now but hopefully some stage I’ll get a go with some red-ball cricket for either WA or I know there’s an Australia A game coming up, so hopefully I’m in that.
“Anytime you play, you’re pressing for selection, so I still have high hopes to play Test match cricket again. But I’m realistic that I’m probably a couple back at this stage and I have to make a few runs.”

Again Labs in this n the first half hour vs Tassie on a green top.
Made 136.
Come on. He is the best opener in the country. He is the best young player
He is the best leader on the field.
LET HIM PICK THE NEW COACH
'An activity for sadists': Three hurdles Cummins must clear to become our first bowling captain in 65 years
I’ve changed my mind about Warner. Go for any good technical player under 24 yo. Blood a few into test level.
Who should bat at five for Australia in the Ashes?
Thats because of the leadership focus moving to the coach.
A bloody disaster.
'An activity for sadists': Three hurdles Cummins must clear to become our first bowling captain in 65 years
Kapil Dev.
I’m not against bowling captans in principle.
But to choose Cummins is a gamble and means passing over Labuschagne, who is a legend waiting to happen.
'An activity for sadists': Three hurdles Cummins must clear to become our first bowling captain in 65 years
Labuschagne. He is a true leader on the field, he will lead from ball 1. Proxy captain from the dressing room has to end. Give Marnus the captaincy, let him pick a new coach. Together with the selectors, they choose another , young, opener and middle order.
Move all the old guys out except for the undeniable talent, Smith Cummins, Hazelwood.
Relegate the old boys to T20 where they belong and start a new era. Blood as many young players as we can, make them compete against each other in the present. instead of against has-beens resting on their ( sometimes meagre) laurels. It could take a few seasons to rebuild, but we are forsaking potential greatness to preserve mediocrity.
Commence the new era of Labuschagne.
'An activity for sadists': Three hurdles Cummins must clear to become our first bowling captain in 65 years
Marnus should open, and captain. He’ll be doing it in practice (will be in in the first 10 overs at least 70%) anyhow, may as well make it official.
'My three options': Michael Clarke's surprise call for Will Pucovski's Ashes replacement
I really enjoy the lateral thinking LOL.
Here’s mine… really.
1. Labuschagne (C)
2. Pucovski
3. Smith
4. Green
5. Warner
6. Head/Maxwell
7. Inglis
8. Abbott
9. Cummins (VC)
10. Swepson
11. Hazelwood
12. Head/Maxwell
Other squad – Neser, Whiteman, Renshaw, Wildermuth.
New coach from shortlist negotiated with and approved by Lab.
Who should bat at five for Australia in the Ashes?
True, and Chappell’s unnecessary action determined the outcome of a series, sandpergate had no measured effect on the game. Underarm has far more impact.
Smith 'interested' in return to captaincy
Ahhhh, Olivier!
Australia needs a captain who's handsome (but not too handsome): Step forward, Watto
