God help me - the Test Cricket thread

Personally, if Paine isn't captain he's probably not in the 11 either, especially given his hand injury history.

It will be interesting to see which way the ACB go.

Could we see Head going from borderline selection to captaining an Ashes squad?

Personally, I think Cummins is a bad choice, pace bowlers do not make good judgements at the end of a long hot day in the field. I say this having been a opening bowler and captain, but it was really late in my career when I was happy to give the pill to somebody else that I was most effective as captain. You don't drive fatigued, don't captain Australia fatigued either!

Is Labuschagne a chance, could someone like Handscomb or Maddinson come in to lead with Carey as keeper?

Did Wade announce his retirement a day too soon?

I'm not a fan of quicks being captain either.....Smith is the obvious choice minus the sandpaper anchor around his neck but that
anchor remains and I cant see the selectors going there. If Carey played as keeper then he could be the other choice other than Cummins.
