If all players were involved, as Smith intimated, none of them could replace him, as captain.
IF Peter Handscomb wasn't involved - and it's a big IF - he's the obvious choice, having captained Victoria.
Other than that option, if it's going to be mass sackings, Travis Head could well be the next Oz captain.
Other State skippers are: Q'land - Jimmy Peirson, first year captain. NSW - Moises Henriques, Victoria - Peter Handscomb, WA - Mitch Marsh, Tas - George Bailey.
Of those, Bailey could be called upon, in a similar way to how Bob Simpson was recalled, to captain, in the wake of WSC. Henriques has captained NSW for a few seasons, now.
One from left field could be Matt Wade - successful Vic. captain, experienced Test 'keeper and in super form, with 3 recent centuries.
