Difference his Travis is also picked on his batting ability not just captaining......
Played for Australia this summer, Signed for Yorkshire for all formats for half a season and is still only 22 years old. It will come.
An ability we've yet to see earn a spot in the side with runs. Adcock had a superb year the year before he was made captain didn't he? In fact I recall the Aussie selectors were looking at him seriously for higher honours. There is no doubt at all that making Head captain was a backwards step for his development. However, what other option for captain was there?
The year prior to being named captain Adcock scored 324 runs at 46.28 (without scoring a ton).
It was then and remains a bizarre decision.
There was also a bizarre story going around that he was a chance for an all-rounders spot in the 2007 World Cup. Naturally nothing came from this delusion.
