Message: [QUOTE="Fitzy, post: 3445322, member: 9881"] I agree. I like Finch but we have been witnessing 2 years of this shit. His good captaining tactics argument has warn out. Retire from ODI cricket tomorrow if you can. T20 WC the squad has been picked, you can have your last hurrah. Tactically he is very good so worthwhile keeping him there for t20’s. I don’t want to be to harsh on him either, it’s dead obvious there are internal pressures for him to stay. Future skipper; Pat for mine isn’t a viable short format captain. Doesn’t play it enough and won’t play it enough. That really only leaves Smith as a viable option. You could argue Maxwell as he is a lock in both teams and Carey will be in the conversation (doubtful he would snag it though). Look it needs to be Smith but the execs can’t really afford the media circus that goes on with that. They get the sack (/forced to resign) very easily and I think after our 12 months of what I have forecasted underwhelming results in the biggest of competitions and series, they will all be under the pump for signing McDonald to what I believe is a 5 year contract (I’m not a fan if you couldn’t tell). But the central point being is that the One day World Cup is to far away to just sit there and let us suffer. I have the utmost respect for Aaron he has been a major part of the set up since 2011 when he debuted. I usually let blokes like Aaron have the chance to call time on there own terms when there that accomplished but deadset the writing has been on the wall and we have been waiting for 2 years and it’s time to call it quits whilst the public haven’t completely turned (it’s happening though). Lovely bloke go play a big bash season, have one last crack at an IPL season and then get yourself a media or coaching gig. Or why not both. One thing for sure is that it is time to call it quits on One day cricket. The writing is on the wall when the commentators can’t hold out a optimistic approach on the captain of the side for the public. [/QUOTE]
