Smith is learning, bit hard to do everything right when you have to make all the runs, take all the catches and try and find a place for fielders like Marsh and Khawaja to hide in the field...this isnt a great team at the end of the day. Everyone wants to play IPL etc and the standard of the other test playing nations has slipped away, throw in rigged games, shite rigged pitches on the sub continent and its no fun playing test cricket and having to be captain in this era.
You look at the West Indies and they have a different captain every series, Cook has been broken by being captain, as was Strauss....Smith from SA gave it away as did AB De Villiers...Ross Taylor from NZ lasted one year, McCullum did 3 years and now Williamson has had the job for a couple...
Steve Smith has had the job for three years and is doing ok IMO...
