Darren Sammy by the time of the Windies second T20 WC win was batting 8 and not bowling. Essentially specialist captain in role (different to Brearley, who was a specialist captain in output not role as he opened the batting)

Any number of the bargain store Botham manques that England selected in the wake of the great man's decline: Pringle, Capel, Lewis, Hollioake (A), Reeve and probably more besides.

He was a specialist captain recently in CPL too

Jeevan Mendis seemed to be a bit of a spare part in the Sri Lankan limited overs team in the first half of the 2010's, in the team a lot but not really contributing much with bat or ball

Haha I actually knew him a bit and played with him a few times. He can hit some monstrous sixes and I think he definitely underperformed a fair bit at International level. First time I met him was in the middle of some random fight at a local cricket match and we happened to be the peacemakers from both sides. Nice bloke.
