Pat Cummins receives highest honour in world cricket - Australian Test Captaincy

[Burgey]

No real surprise. Hope he goes well. A lion-hearted champion.

TPC as deputy. Love a redemption arc

5-0 Australia.

pretty disappointed with smith getting the VC unless that's where he stays, but it's a great day for australian cricket to see pat cummins get the top job

 

[honestbharani]

I think Pat is a great guy and a good choice as captain but I cant help feeling this is not gonna end well esp. coz I feel the people's cheat s gonna sneak in his way as captain again and that is not good for anybody, especially him and Australia.

thanks mate.

I don't know how he got the job considering background checks into his electronic history would find a reference to ejaculating in every single email.

That skips tours to play the IPL

Most of them have said Shane was the best captain we never had but I believe McGrath was the best captain that Australia never had,It's been long time since Walsh,Pollock and Waqar we got a pace bowler as a captain.

Not test tours. Unlike Boult, Kohli etc, Patty is never too #tired for test matches. Bless his Lion heart.

An honour where the only pre-requisite is having a Bunnings trade membership for cheap sandpaper

whenever people say this they bring up like the one ODI where he was captaining whilst Waugh was off the field

McGrath seems dopey as dog **** when he talks. Much like Langer

You don't believe in second chances? Especially considering he was arguably least at fault of the Cape town 3

nobody believes in second chances more than me, he just wasn't a very good captain

like even before cape town i was saying this, he wasn't ever particularly good at doing the captaining itself

It's more that it showed how unsuited his personality is for it. As someone else said, it is not good for him as a person or for the Australian cricket team. Just let him score runs.

 

[Starfighter]

Yeah, I don't think any of the Australian supporters here want Smith to captain again if it can be helped.

 

[mr_mister]

He may have matured from the whole experience

VC is fine for Smith but not as a stepping stone.

 

[mr_mister]

I know Smith is a little "eccentric" (not to Labuschagne levels mind you), but tbh nobody from the current team appears to me to be anything other than a sheltered athlete. Keep in mind these people have never had to do a normal 9-5 day ever

Paine was meant to be the adult in the room to guide the dillusionioned group of blokes out of this debacle and look what kind of person he turned out to be
