Ed Cowan as Australian Test Captain?
You must be kidding me? This guy probably shouldn't even be in the team let alone captaining it. Taking your time to get in is fine in test cricket but you have back up the time spent at the crease with runs, not 20's and 30's. His fielding is a bit suspect too, a couple of dropped catches this summer. If he was to captain the side in the absence of Clarke or Watson you would only see his poor batting average take even more of a hit. It looks like Australia has left themselves short on experienced players now with Mr. Cricket and Ricky Ponting retiring. It will be interesting to see the make up of the team as the Ashes draw closer.
