Usually I'm OK with Punter's perspectives, but this one reeks of nepotism!
Yeah, I admit, sounds ridiculous at first glance.....but who are the other options ?
until Smith makes it back (& there's no guarantee he'll get another role like that), who else have we got ?
Finch has got one series to try to make the opening spot his, he doesn't need the extra pressure
Lyon ? Khawaja ?
It might be just a case of last man standing....and he has captained WA.

I captained U12s, doesn't make me good enough to captain Australia.
Aaron Finch has been a very good, experienced short form captain. Bailey is good too.

I’m not so sure Prof, you could be the man
Aren’t there several players with captaincy experience in the likely eleven?

Cricket is one sport where being a good captain can be enough to get you a gig!
The problem I think Australian cricket has is that there may well be a number of seriously good captains out there, but they are not the best cricketers and at the moment our team is so poor we cannot afford to carry them!
