With George Bailey a slight doubt for the 4th ODI, and Clarke, Haddin and Watson all rested, it appears that Mitchell Johnson could be skipper for the 4th ODI against England. Granted, he's a massively different player to a few years ago, but is he captaincy material? Do we think his bowling will suffer with the extra responsibility?
-
When was the last time a bowler captained Australia?
I reckon finchy or Smith are better options however don't doubt Johnson could do the job but would need more VC experience
-
I don't recall Johnson having captained any sides at a domestic level so it's bizarre he's been named vice captain. Smith has captained NSW in both shield and 50 over formats this season, so IMO it's more likely he will lead the side if he's unwell.
-
I think a Monkey with a toffee up it's bum could captain Australia to a victory over England at the moment.
A more telling thread would be what XI will england put together for this game? What's the betting on minimal changes and the same result?
-
Steady Fattus, don't rock the boat.
-
unless they're playing England women, I'd back the Monkey!

Is smith in the squad? Im sure he wasnt originally?
-
don't think he is captain material, I think Warner could be or Clint Mckay

Just don't ask him for a toffee.
-
I'm not sure Smith is in, but he's talked up as a future Test Captain - not sure why?
Give a bowler a go, not like they can under or over bowl themselves!
-
Bailey did the press conference so i'd imagine he keeps his place.
-
I dont know why M Johnson ? He is so injury prone ... imo Warner or Smith should be given chance !
-
Balance at it again. Struggling to get the ball of the square against maxwell.
After a solid start Morgan should have come in a 4. Send in one of the hitters
-
Brilliant hitting from buttler!
Batting way too low
-
Is there another thrashing going on? I haven't even put this one on rec !
-
No, actually England put on a big total and are defending it nicely...

I personally thought we was short. With the start we had 350plus should have been. But Morgan, then butler came in too late IMO.
Both need to beset for the 35-40over power play to set up a proper total.
Finch currently on 74 of 71 balls. If aus had haddin, Warner they would have knocked off easily, with this line up, they knock it off just......
-
Disgusting send off from stokes!
-
Did I just hear Stokes call Faulkner a t..t
Like this lad like him a lot he has a massive future
He has fire in his belly we need some of that
-
Lol amongst some other choice language
-
2 runs a ball for 8 overs... not likely
-
I can't quite make it out. But think it was "keep sledging you stupid t**t"
Faulkner gave stokes a send off so he just returned it.(may go back on sky alter and see if ic an here what he said)
Never understood giving someone a send off that's done well?
-
Might get a a copy of the stokes bat 1 oz lighter lovely profiles.
He is turning into something special he is the positive of the whole tour
-
Oooh dave, you're not suggesting b3 makes stokes' bats are you lol ;)
-

No I never said that new balance make. Ben Stokes bat...
-
Oh no what was that !!!!!!!!
-
CAn he get man of match after that?
-
They bring Besnan back what is Cook doing
Oh ok then :D
-
Finally! Woohoo
-
Maggie Thatcher yes Maggie Thatcher your boys too one hell of a beating
Yes well done good start to a long weekend
-

I think you're right! I replayed it and it sounded like that.
But Faulkner had to take it really as he gave stokes a send off!
At least the England bowlers are bowling so much better than they have been!! It's a but late to start bowling well now, but never mind!! Better late than never I suppose!!
-
I like this winning feeling! Another!
-
Pretty much watched every ball of the test series and i miss this a win >:(
