Next Aussie T20 captain ?

[Leeda]

Maxwell .. the legend will keep on growing...
Who is this Turner dude? If I don't know then he ain't it..
It will take a little bit of tweaking to wander into a good fit. It is all about who wants it as well as
anything else.

While watching the BBL this year I started noticing that Turner was very very good at manipulating the dimensions of Perth Stadium (short boundaries straight and to fine leg). So I started looking in to his scores this season at Perth compared to everywhere else.

At Perth Stadium this season he averaged 65 with a strike rate of 165. Everywhere else he averaged 14 with a strike rate of 115.

I thought that maybe was just variance so I then looked at his career. At Perth Stadium for his career he averages 37 at a strike rate of 147. Everywhere else he averages 20 at a strike rate of 137.

You add that to his T20I record (18 matches, avg 12, sr 84) and I think it starts to paint a picture as to why he may not be a successful batter at international level.

I'm not adverse to him playing for the national team again but I think it would be unwise to think he'd replicate what he does for the Scorchers at international level.

I’m a little surprised his record at other grounds is that poor.

I do like that Turner just keeps his head. T20 is a game for intelligent experienced players - he is it. Can he step up to international bowling, I’d give him another chance. We have that many series that don’t matter, does it matter if we have a rotating captaincy policy until we find a permanent solution?

I feel like Maxwell being given captaincy of an Australian side would be a bit of a make up with the ****ing around of him in other formats.

Marsh (c), Maxwell (vc)

Nobody wants Steve Smith? His form in the BBL suggests he should replace Finch as our T20 opener. Could be a dark horse for the captaincy.

 

[JackOutback]

Smith shouldn't be near any captaincy position and that includes the Test vice-captaincy.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Maxwell for me.

Maxwell has been in the side on reputation at times. I think Turner or Head.
