Australia’s Next Test Captain

[honestbharani]

We went up for a holiday at Byron last year and the house we stayed in was in the same street as the lesser Hemsworth, Luke. Bumped into him a couple of times on the beach, or as Mrs Burgey called them, “Hemsworth encounters.”

they aren’t really “encounters” if you’re looking over his back fence though

Luke was good enough to play Thor

 

[Burgey]

****ing nice house he had, man. Backed onto Tallow Beach. Big pool out the back too.

Luke's done very well for himself, if I were him I'd probably have the biggest inferiority complex in the history of mankind with those 2 for brothers.

(inb4 "TJB you already do have the biggest inferiority complex in the history of mankind")

Oh please give it back to Steve Smith. All you’re quicks hate his guts so with a little bit of luck that might force them into early retirement rather than play with that plonker leading the team for the next five years.

 

[Spikey]

And fmd it'd be better #content than Ultimate Tag or whatever it is Channel 7's banking on once this BBL season finishes in 2029

I dunno, someone does a headscissors take down in the ad

 

[trundler]

Just give it to Marnus. Looks like the obvious choice to me.

 

[Howsie]

Looks the most Australian that’s for sure

Starceh is a good candidate imo.

Intuitive thinker in addition to being a great bowler

 

[BoyBrumby]

Go full heel and give it to Warner, IMHO.

I mean Paine essentially got the gig because he was a good bloke and safe pair of hands (literally and metaphorically), after, y'know, but if he's going to be an arsehole now and drop stuff too at least give it to an arsehole who's good at cricket.

Should make it through the series undropped first

It’s a shame neither or both of Aaron Finch or Chris Lynn have been able to forge test careers because they’re the two best leaders of men in Aust cricket by a fair margin imo.

Maxwell imo

 

[Pup Clarke]

My darkhorse would be Alex Carey, but if Moises got it that would be ridiculously cool

 

[Dan]

Incomplete list of people I'd take as Australian Test captain over Chris Lynn:
1. Usman Khawaja
2. Nick Larkin
3. Moises Henriques
4. Peter Nevill
5. Travis Head
6. Alex Carey
7. Glenn Maxwell
8. Pat Cummins
9. Aaron Finch
10. Steve Smith
[...]
94. Luke Butterworth
95. Mitchell Johnson
96. Burgey
97. Burgeinho
98. Tanveer Sangha
99. Jason Sangha
100. Tim Paine

Lynn truly is an absolutely dreadful captain imo

 

[Pup Clarke]

Finch would be quite decent imo, but the selectors did him dirty by asking him to open against a quality attack. Unsurprisingly didn't end well

 

[Red]

I didn’t realise ppl don’t rate Lynn. Is there a story? I haven’t really watched bbl much this year.

Yeh could’ve bedded in at 5 or 6 and done well
