Ricky Ponting and Adam Gilchrist have their say on the recent questioning of Adam Gilchrist's Captaincy. What do you think? The Thursday Night Sport Show - 9.30pm on ONE
Adam Gilchrist was captain in brief stints.... But Mark Taylor was an outstanding captain but not mentioned..... I think Hayden is correct. Clarke lacked toughness in the position. Steve Smith also lacks this. Australia needs tough cricket captains who are competitors and strong at the crease...
yeah and that's why he won 2006-07 Ashes by 5-0, won champions trophies 2006 & 2009, won 2007 ODI world cup, won 2 odi series in India in 2007 & 2009 and whitewashed (3-0) South Africa in South Africa in tests in 2006
He's admitted himself that he stayed in the team too long. But that was because Australia didn't have anyone coming through at that time with a lot of promise. He still managed to score a century & a double century in one of his last series & went on to become the shefield shield POTY. Hard to sustain such a high standard from his peak years.
