Future Captains

[icyman]

Kaif led India to victory in the U-19 World Cup on Si Lanka in 2000.

Also,i do not agree with Zorax when he says Kaif would be better than Dravid.
I agree that the team has been faring badly in the tests ever since dravid has taken over.

I feel that he should continue for the One-dayers ...and get Ganguly back ...what say ?

 

[dtrain]

I don't think Dravid has been good as a captain at all. Maybe Yuvraj is the way to go, but not Ganguly.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Also, Dravid has never been domestic skipper before his new gig.
Kaif should really be our captain. Maybe even Kumble.

 

[Adarsh]

There is no point debating this now. The BCCI has already appointed Dravid as captain of the Indian team till the end of the world cup.

I don't think Dravid has been good as a captain at all. Maybe Yuvraj is the way to go, but not Ganguly.

Yuvraj is too young i think and yes Dravid has been appointed the captain till the end of the worldcup...

 

[varunvgiri]

Yuvraj is seriously doubtful.... Aniways Dravid will most probably be the captain till the end of his international career.., which isnt atleast for the next 3 years.

 

[icyman]

I'd go in for Kaif rather than Yuvraj.
But let Dravid lead in the ODI's.

 

[Bilal91]

Yup...he is doing an excellent job in the odis (so far anyway) but his test captaincy is doubtful...

 

[icyman]

Thats the thing we do not have a genuine test captain skilled enough to lead .
unless you count on Kumble.
Tendulkar was tried and so has been Dravid.
Also the rest of the team is completely new.So we just cannot have a new comer onto the mantle .

As I have said,give Dravid another series.
If he does not succeed,then look for another test skip,but let him remain as the odi skip

 

[Bilal91]

Yup...I mean he has been really inconsistent in the tests...and they have just drew a series with a very weakened England side...so they should really start looking for a replacement for him in the tests...

I Think:

Australia: Hussey
England:Panesar
India:Y Singh or Pathan
Pakistan:Akmal
South Africa: AB Divilliers
New Zealand:Bond

 

[hasun300]

Mohamad Asif - Pakistan
Munaf Patel - India
Andrew Strauss - England

 

[James219]

I Think:

Australia: Hussey
England:Panesar
New Zealand:Bond

Right.....
Panesar's played three tests, that's a fair assumption.
Hussey will probably retire around the time Ponting leaves, so that's an improbable guess.
With regards to Shane Bond; what's wrong with Fleming? And after Fleming's era, I believe Vettori may be in line for the role.

 

[genghis_khan]

Vettori will definately get the gig when Fleming goes

its hard not to say M Clarke for Australia because just about everything points to him being the next skipper.

Mohamad Asif - Pakistan

We talking about future captain, not always good players turn out to be good captian, Asif will be our future captain ? :
