As the story says, they thought taken the burden of captaincy will help him score more runs and focus on batting.

The real underlining issue is the fact they selected O'Keefe as captain over Steve Smith and Mosies, as they thought Smith would be out with the national team and Mosies was battling injuries. End of the day he was 4th preferred selection, well 7th if you include Clarke, Haddin and Hauritz who all captained previously, but we overlooked due to potential international commitments.

The whole international commitment issue is NSW biggest problem. You make plans for season based on potential international commitments and then half batsmen get dropped or over looked and half the quicks you thought would be available during the season get picked.

With a side like NSW you have to take it a game at a time, as the side might change so much from one game at a time. You can't really plan for the whole season, as the side changes too much. In some ways NSW is better not having the national players in the side when they have games off. Can't remember they last time we won a game with international players on a break. They are better of playing grade cricket, if they want match practice.

Was going to say that there'd be too many resources elsewhere, but probably not considering that they are just using Ch 7 coverage of football, and I'd assume Ch 9's feed of NRL?

Yeah indeed. They're currently showing a replay of a CB40 game too so it's not a scheduling issue. I know they're not as keen on the List A comp now that they've got the Big Bash but I would've thought the first game of the season on a weekend involving NSW would've been pretty high on their priority list if they were going to show any one dayers this season at all.

He turns the ball into a new dimension...

I wouldn't be surprised if the TV deals have something to do with it. NRL/AFL make them not show cricket during their finals series.
