    Without knowing the full extent of Clarke's injury its hard to speculate,but with only a four day turnaround before the Gabba test its very hard to see him being ready. Also from what I understand he was using quite a lot of needles and painkillers for the back injury. Its very unlikely these are short term injuries.

    Well where to now for Australia's next captain? Haddin can't have to many summers left in him. I hear Steve Smiths name mentioned a lot,and also Warner as a possible candidate. If Clarke never plays again do the ACB let Haddin lead the team into the next ashes,or name their candidate after the world cup?

    That is a very good question, and I would think it will be a hot topic for quite some time. No one really stands out in my mind, Haddin will be fine short term, but not sure from there...

    Smith is the name that keeps coming up.

    I doubt that Haddin will get the job. There is no point picking the a new caption for such a short time. I love Haddin and I just wish he was a bit younger and I would then love him as caption.

    My money is on Smith. I don't reckon that Warner has the right demeanor for captaincy.

    Question. Is the next test in Brisbane the first test or the second test?

    Ian Chappell has endorsed Smith. Warners taunting of Aaron put him a step behind. Brisbane is the 2nd test. Bob

    So Smith may be it then. Although he may be the leading contender, I personally think we have a few issues when we don't have a standout performer that is being groomed for the job well before the current Captain retires.

    Good call,also Smith is not too experienced in captaincy just yet. But in saying that Grahame Smith was the youngest ever South African captain with little experience and went on to be a exceptional skipper. So it might be worth taking the gamble sooner rather than later.
