Smith showed every reason why he’s been considered a future Test captain. He was unhindered in his batting, he was aggressive in his field-setting, and he was smart in the way he managed his bowlers in the sweltering conditions across the first few days.
So impressive was Smith in his new role, that the number of voices suggesting he should hold onto the captaincy when Michael Clarke returns is growing.
Similarly, there is a growing belief that Smith, and not George Bailey, should lead Australia to the World Cup in February.
It’s not at all inconceivable that Smith could before too long become the first captain across all three formats since Ricky Ponting back in 2006.
