He is looking old and slow in this tournament with the bat in hand, much as he did in the Ashes. He can't field in slip due to injuries and he hasn't completed a run-out since I can't remember when.
As a skipper, the main thing he has offered is leading with the bat, but he is not doing that now. He hasn't done that at test level for a couple of years at least as shown by his stats. His captaincy is reactive, he is not a natural tactical skipper, he doesn't have the instincts. I am trying to work out what he actually offers if he isn't scoring runs apart from not being Michael Clarke (who I think has a bit more about him, at least for ODI's, as a skipper).
Does anyone in CA have the balls to tap him on the shoulder? He appears to believe it's up to him to decide how long he plays for in test cricket and ODI's and if that genuinely is the case, he will be going to the Ashes in 2013.
