Who is the best international captain?

[Swervy]

I never thought the Windies would be difficult, and NZ definately would have been if they weren't so riddled with Injuries. If they'd beaten the Full strengh NZ team like they did the F team, that would have been something. I got nothing against them, and I realise that you still have to win, but people going on like they're such hot **** atm is just a little bit strange really, when they haven't been tested really.

the fact of the matter is they have been the most successful test team in the world in the last 18 months....and excluding Australia, what other team can match Englands success in test matches in that time (SA are right up there though)

I terms of victories, no one, but they weren't exactly the hardest tests they could have faced, that's all. They failed horribly in Sri Lanka. I like the team, and I think they have potential, but I'd just like to see how they fare against good opposition.

i guess you can say this about every single team in the world other than Australia....for example,India have done nothing of note against anyone other than Australia against who they won ONE match, SA havent done that much apart from a decent drawn series in England,England havent done much apart from win loads of games vs teams other than Australia, Sri Lanka cant do anything away from home,NZ havent done much other than hammer India at home and draw vs India in India(such a bad team arent they NZ), pakistan havent really done much either,

So who on earth deserves the current number two slot, ....to me its the team that is consistantly winning...and there is only two teams in the world that are doing that, and they are Australia and England...now we know Australia are number one, that leaves ENgland at number two...and oddly enough that tallies up with the official rankings as well, so I think they do deserve it

That puts me in my place, then

not really - everyone is entitled to their own view.

Now if it were the Ginger and I agreeing on something (which does happen albeit rarely), then history suggests we're right

 

[marc71178]

Coz New Zealand are no better than before he became captain. Why is everyone obsessed with him?

So before he took over they had the highest winning %age in ODI of any side did they?

You were very much in the minority then.
