Marcus North Australia's Next Captain

[robelinda]

Sorry, but that's ridiculous. He's not going to give a public bollocking to a bowler out on the field. He shouldn't, and he won't. Could well do it in the sheds afterwards.

On Clarke in general though, where there's smoke, there's fire. Ponting supposedly has no time for him at all. The T20 team, from what I hear, certainly aren't unified behind him either.

I hear the same things too, from a source close to the team. I hear that Katich has a LOT of support within the dressing room.

 

[Spikey]

yes but Kat is 35 and as much as we all love him won't captain.

by the way i'm just gonna point if a full strength NSW team lined up tomorrow, Kat would be captain, Haddin vice and Clarke would be in the covers.

yes but Kat is 35 and as much as we all love him won't captain.

Oh yeah he's no chance for the Aussie job, just saying he has a lot of support, as in if he says something they listen, and listen good. Maybe he has just earnt the respect. Read into that what you will.

Not so much a bollocking, but I have plenty of recollections of Ponting shouting "TOO ****ING SHORT" at slip. It seems to work...

Where do you hear this?

Ah but that's because he should'nt even be in the side.

People have their own management styles. Most captains refrain from such stuff, generally Ponting is in the minority, and for good reason.

Not necessarily. Been through it before, cbf again.

Marcus North next captain. Are they havin' a laugh?

Just bring in Khawaja and make him captain on debut and be done with it.

 

[age_master]

WTF?

Trouble in paradise as players revolt against Clarke who seems to be a prickly character.

My word, I will hand in my CW membership if a hack like North ascends to teh captaincy.

Nothing would surprise me with CA though.

If Marcus North becomes captain of Australia i will start supporting England.

And North were from NSW he wouldn't even make the team...

 

[AaronK]

oh my !!!!!!


it is getting better and better ahahah

keep the good news coming people

IIRC NSW is playing a first-class match in a week or two with a full-strength lineup? Could be interesting.

Marcus North finds captaincy link laughable | The Australian

“I woke up this morning hearing some of these reports and I know it's an Ashes summer but gee, there's got to be better stuff to write about,” North said.

“I do find it quite funny. Yesterday the feeling in the media is who can replace North and then the next minute I'm being touted as Australian captain.

“Like I said in an Ashes summer you can expect a bit of hype and a few stories but ... I think we're scraping the barrel there a bit.

He's got a point there. Bit mypoic, the media.

I'd also outwardly 'support' the guy who goes around throttling team mates. Katich lol.

Katich is king. that is fact

 

[G.I.Joe]

The King of Queens. Yes.

 

[GotSpin]

Hush. Go back to suckling off the tit of Tendulkar. How dare thee insult katman

 

[G.I.Joe]

It's easy, that's how

 

[Jono]

Lol, why the **** was North mentioned. I can't get over it

Reporter probably just looked at the team and asked "Who is/was a state captain in this team? OOOH MARCUS NORTH!"

North for captain. If and when he has 100% cemented his place in the team.
