Mahela Jayawardene wondered on Twitter whether previous Australia captains would have left a tour early, as Steven Smith has done. Graeme Smith has echoed those sentiments publicly. Angelo Mathews was typically diplomatic, but as he prepares to play a side led by David Warner now, even he admits to being perplexed.I think they have their own player management system, but honestly, if it was me, I wouldnt have [left], because its a tough tour, Mathews said. You need the captain alongside the playing XI. They decided to rest him - well, I dont think we as players have any issues with that.Smiths own team-mates have - not surprisingly - been more understanding of his departure, despite the ODI series still hanging in the balance. Warner said regular breaks for players were required because of crickets hectic modern schedules. Smith had also been leading Australia across all formats, taking over the ODI team after last years World Cup, and the Test and T20 sides since.I can feel for Steve and the amount of cricket he has been playing, Warner said. It is going to very, very tough with the scheduling these days to play all three forms and every single game possible. Players are getting rested here and there. Everyone has to adapt, and weve got [to remember] that everyone is human.While Warner attempts to fill the gap in leadership that Smith has left behind, Australia will also need to replace the man who has been ODI crickets most prolific run-scorer over the past year. Usman Khawaja and Shaun Marsh are in line to step into the XI. Warner suggested Smiths output makes a break from cricket particularly well-deserved.The stats he has on the board, runs-wise and the worlds best batter and player, I think he deserves a break whether or not it was during the series or before the series.There were times there when I may have been leaning towards having a break and then you have a bit of misfortune by getting injured and that has sort of been my freshen-up. [Warner broke a finger while fielding in June, and missed the end of the tri-series in the West Indies.]Warner is set to become Australias 23rd ODI captain, and said it had not been in his wildest dreams to lead the side. I feel honoured and thrilled, he said. Im really pumped to get out there, help the guys and lead from the front.Though he has never led a national side, Warner has had captaincy success in the IPL, leading Sunrisers Hyderabad to this years title. Allrounder James Faulkner, who plays for the Gujarat Lions IPL franchise, suggested that experience would assist Warners captaincy at the international level.Davids got lot of experience in all three formats - in IPL and BBL as well, Faulkner said. I know one thing - that he is pretty honest, and hes going to back each and every one of us. Much as the same with Smithy - very good leaders. They let their presence be felt in the middle. Im sure David will fill the position really well. Cheap Tottenham Hotspur Jerseys China .

Adelaide coach Don Pyke is plotting to stop two Lance Franklins.The first Franklin version is the Sydney star forward who roams far and wide. The other is the one who stays close to goal.Pyke isnt sure which style Franklin will bring when Adelaide meet the Swans in Saturday nights semi-final at the SCG.He has been playing a little bit further up the ground, Pyke said of Franklin.Whether they stay with him playing higher up the ground this week or they bring him back more inside 50, time will tell.We will probably prepare for both, knowing that hes one of their keys and hes one of their guys they target regularly going forward.Franklin will be shadowed by Adelaide defender Daniel Talia but Pyke was mindful of the challenges presented not only by Sydneys truumpcard but also by the tighter confines of the SCG.ddddddddddddPyke trained the Crows on Wednesday by marking out the dimensions of the SCG, where the Crows have played just once in four seasons, noting it was vital to control the centre corridor at the ground.Given its such a short ground, if you can get control of the ball in that area, it allows you to attack goal pretty directly, he said.So the ground itself has a component ... but fundamentally the way we play wont change.There will probably be some focus areas and some areas you just need to adapt to both the ground and the opposition - that is what happens week to week.
