Former skipper and Cricket Australia board member Mark Taylor has long believed Smith deserved to be given a second chance to right the wrongs of Cape Town, and though the 32-year-old has not been given a crack at the full redemptive story he wanted, he still has the platform to win back the fans he lost.
“I see Steve Smith being a bit more pragmatic about it and thinking,‘Well, ok, three-and-a-half years ago, I had the worst moments of my cricket life, where I turned a blind eye to something I shouldn’t have. I’ve learned from that, and now I’m slowly making my way back to the leadership of the Australian cricket team.’
The freshly inaugurated leader has already indicated he will be leaning on his vice-captain more so than any of his predecessors.
He gets to play and that’s it! Captain or vice Captain shouldn’t be an option for any cheater of the game! After all Pane stood down as Captain for something that was outside Cricket! Smith was playing when he brought shame to the game!!
