Cricket (and sport in general) is far more interesting when people are making silly comments like that than when they're talking about bowling good areas and executing skills, so good on him (even if I will laugh at him).

Smith once hit on a girlfriend of mine pretty hard when he was smashed off his bonce (including the line 'you have a bf? don't you know who I am?'), so I'm never going to like the bloke, but he was the obvious choice for captain.

I think it's a great choice... He will drive the team forward and lead by example...

As for Aussies going missing when their team is struggling you are absolutely ludicrous... I've never seen a country abandon their team like the English when they are struggling.... Just go back and read some of the topics before this ashes series... Then when they perform you all come out of the woodwork saying I told ya so!!!!

your not wrong about three of us stayed loyal some comments now are mental.

Most fans are fickle no matter who you follow

, the Aussies seems to have a wonderful way of going missing when their team is struggling.

*shakes head* this is actually hilarious.

Atleast we managed to win a test. Who were your players that stood up when the going was tough in the last Ashes? 5-0.

Swann retired during a series so that his bowling average didn't go over 30, that is actually one of the most pathetic things I've ever seen. Also Trott............  ;)

You can take pot shots at Swann, but please leave Trott out of it.

Smith has the makings of a good captain. He seems to have a good relationship with the players now but it will be interesting to see if that continues now that he is officially the top dog.
The interesting decision for mine is who will be the vice captain and lead the team in the event that Smith is unavailable? Due to the senior players verging on retirement and the rest of the team (bar warner and lyon) still cementing their spot in the side it's a tough choice for Cricket Australia.

Lyon to be the Vice captain, surely then can't give that much responsibility to Ugg!

Would be well deserved if Lyon was VC. He has barely gone into a test without his place being questioned by some armchair selectors.

Why exactly?

Trott said himself that he was not suffering depression and that he was just feeling "burnt out". He left Australia with his tail tucked between his legs and then he retired just before the next time he had to face them.

As the Aussies move on from Clarke  Australian selectors have recommended to the board that slogger Warner is the new ODI and test vice Captain

  Ponting can restore baggy green ethos                                                                                                                        Advance Negotiations  are taking place to bring in Ponting
The way the Aussies have performed in the Ashes  probably as a batsman
