New Skipper?

[cookie2]

Cripps is an interesting one.
We assume he will continue to develop...but there is a chance he could have an unremarkable year as there will no doubt be extra scrutiny on him given his standout performances at the end of the year.

I personally don't think that will happen...The more likely result will be that he will continue to improve to the extent that he becomes exactly what folk were talking about on the previous page...the team's "general."
In that case he would almost demand the captaincy...and allow for a generational change that would see him the leader for the next ten years...and that's exactly what we need.

Seems like huge pressure of expectation on Cripps but he'll be OK IMO. Very level headed.
