It's time PIG3 boards realize that test match captaincy is a specialist skill. Don't just give it to the best batsman of your team.

  • Steve Smith will bat in god mode for a few years now. He won't have the captaincy burden to deal with. I actually think losing his captaincy the way he did will prolong his career (assuming CA doesn't give him the captaincy in the future).

  • I wish Kohli was reigned in. I can see that captaincy brings out the best in him, but he would do well as just a batsman too - only if there was a good leader in the Indian team that Kohli could bury his ego for and just bat.

  • Root has a much better attitude in this regard and I can see him taking that route in the future to prolong his batting.

  • Kane is the only one who does well as a captain, but then NZ doesn't play as many high pressure test matches either. Fair enough to say that he deals with captaincy very well and doesn't let it affect his batting performance.
