Yeah ! I just forgot
Ha ha, so you'd both drop one of Grace or Sutcliffe to get Mitchell into the side?I can forgive you for assuming CW couldn't possibly be silly enough to leave him out of the SA side..

I may not have picked him but I had not even noticed and, therefore, considered him.

Grace makes my All Time World XI if we're talking all cricket but Mitchell was definitely a better Test player than him IMO, and even if we're talking all cricket I'd have certainly included him somewhere. I rate him about Sutcliffe's equal and if I had to bat him at 3 (where he batted quite a bit for SA, actually) to get him in the side then I'd do so.

Gotta be Kapil. Dravid was great tactically but as an Indian, if theres one guy who comes to mind when you think captain, its Kapil Dev. I have no rational reasons to give

Dravid has a lot going for him and was a very good understated captain. The only thing that worries me is his apparent diffidence. One gets the impression (and one could be completely wrong) that he is not one to share his inner most thoughts to freely and would rather keep things that were bothering him inside him. Even though he would take the decisions he thinks need be taken, he may hesitate to explain them frankly if they appeared to be sensitive.
This may cause greater inter-personnel problems than could be solved by talking to the people concerned frankly and straight from the heart. Rahul gives the impression that he may want to avoid confrontations but still go ahead and take the decisions he needed to take without explaining himself unless forced.
