They should make Wade, Khawaja or Handscomb captain, they are miles ahead of Smith tactically. Wade's game lifts considerably when he has the responsibility.
As a captain, Smith is a great batsmen.
Get a tactically decent captain and the whole team will lift. At the moment our bowling rotations look like U12 stuff. It's not that we are failing to score, we are letting the opposition score too much. Our bowling or fielding fix comes too late, the decisions come too slowly after the horse has bolted!
Our problem was letting Bangladesh score 250+, on a mystery pitch that was barely prepared, not our failure to score 250 ourselves.
I can't help but worry that Boof has the captain that keeps in comfortable in his coaches job, but ironically it could bite Boof on the ar5e!
