Group 1:

Clive Lloyd
Don Bradman
Frank Worrell
Ray Illingworth

Main difficulty was Illingworth over Crowe. Think he deserves more credit though.

Group 2:

Mike Brearley
Michael Vaughan
Arjuna Ranatunga
Sourav Ganguly

Could've picked one of the Kiwis instead, but meh.

Group 3:

Mark Taylor
Douglas Jardine
Richie Benaud
Ian Chappell

Ouch. Not voting for Imran most would consider blasphemy, but there you go. This round is loaded.

Group 4:

Allan Border
Steve Waugh
Misbah Ul-Haq
Len Hutton

Lots of ways this could go. No really great captains but all were decent IMO. Plenty could get my vote in another round.

Well people said group 3 was the toughest but group 4 ended up the closest. We need to split Len Hutton and Graeme Smith, so can the next voter please do that. Then onto round 3. Border and Brearley the only 2 to not yet drop a vote
