Should Michael Clarke Be Australia's Next Test Captain?

Hehe Hughes as captain would be awesome

Johnson has no brains.

Captaincy ones maybe, but a smart cricketing brain. I suppose the first bit's more important.....

but a smart cricketing brain.

Since when? He tries to bounce tail-enders and goes off the rockers when his Mum and missus get into an argument.

In Tests and ODIs Clarke should be the captain, but in T20's White deserves the captaincy more than him.

 

[drainpipe32]

Where's the logic in that? Unless you mean Clarke isn't playing in the T20 team?

 

[TumTum]

A fast bowler would make an awesome captain IMO.

For Mitch

Bowling+Batting(if he's serious about becoming an all rounder)+Captaincy= Too much pressure.

We know how he bowls when he's in pressure.

 

[drainpipe32]

Do we? He's done quite well and utterly crap under it.....

 

[Num]

Aren't we being a tad too harsh on Ponting's tactical ability?

You cannot be too harsh on Ponting's tactical ability. He is a formula captain. That means he does the exact same thing every time regardless of the situation. Possibly the worst way to captain.

I don't agree with that.

Clarke can be pretty good as a captain. Australia may also try Michael Hussey but IMO his batting would be affected then.

Dunno about that...

Michael Clarke can good captain future and good cricket brain. Cameron White can do it captain because he did six years captain at Victoria.

Do not agree with this either.

Ponting is easily the most aggressive and sporting captain out there. Just look at his declarations in the 1st innings compared to others like Strauss or G Smith.
