WL, PC talk or Parent talk are much the same sort of thing when it comes to this sort of discission. It is thrown about in Australia all the time when a high profile person steps out of line.
I am not taking a stand for JT just because he is our captain, but for the reason that, because of his attitude when playing, his leadership qualities and his unrelenting will to win at all times, will make him the perfect candidate for the job. That is the qualities that are needed from a captain when he is leading the side.
What is the point of having a captain/leader of the team that does not have those qualities. All we will have is a national team that will never achieve anything in its lifetime again.
If JT was ever to leave Chelsea there would be a mountain of teams in the UK and all over the world that would want to sign him.
They would not worry about some indescertions that happens years agao, they would want to sign him for all of the qualities that I have previously mentioned, not because he is a good roll model for peoples children.
Did Australia bother about what trouble Ricky Ponting had been in while he was a young test player.
No they did not, they made him captain because he was the best person for the job, and for that reason more than any, it is why Australia are probably the best cricketing team in the world at present under his leadership.
Sorry WL, but if all sporting teams picked captains just to please childrens parents and their obsession with players being role models to their kids, we would have some very sorry sporting teams with absolutley no spirtit.
It is the parents job to teach kids discipline and the right way to behave in the world, not sporting stars.
