That Botham thought did cross my mind too...
Not sure about Broad. I like him as a cricketer, but I just don't see him as a captain. He's 33 now, so would be 35 when we next go down under.
There's a lot of water to pass under the bridge before then, but I'd be a fan of Root not being captain in the long term. Fo shu.
Dunno tho really, Cy. I'm massively out of touch with county cricket regarding potential replacements to the squad, but Buttler's someone I've always liked as a level-headed fella who could possibly handle the weight on his shoulders as captain. I can see him coming good this test too. Too much class there.
