Who is the best ODI captain

[SHAHZEB 007]

Hmmmm tough on for me, but in my opinion I think Stephen Fleming has a lot of guts as a captain, and in my opinion he is the best!

Ricky Ponting 's the best because he''s kewl, he's aussie and he is kewl agian!!

 

[Duncan]

rickt ponting definitely...

i don't really know too many captains :P

i realy only know jayasuriya, (he's nice)
fleming (i h8 him)
pollock (he's a showoff)
hussain (worst of all)

 

[SHAHZEB 007]

Jayasuriya is not captan any more either is Pollock, either is Hussain! You only know 2 captains!!!

 

[Duncan]

really?

that's embarssing :

so who r the new captains then?

 

[SHAHZEB 007]

South Africa's Captain is Graeme Smith
Sri Lanka's Captain is Hashan Tillakaratne
England has not annouced it's new captain yet(I think, have to ask Andrew)

 

[barmyarmy]

No, we haven't yet.
Probably one of Trescothick, Vaughan or Hollioake although Gile's name has also been mentioned.

 

[andrew_nixon]

I don't reckon it will be Hollioake. If he's not been good enough to get in the team in recent years, he's not good enough to be captain!

 

[barmyarmy]

He's been an excellent captain with Surrey and I reckon he's good enough to be in the team.

 

[andrew_nixon]

If he was good enough to be in the team, he'd have played in the World Cup.

I think Giles could be a good outside bet.

hollioake captain? :unsure: i've neva even heard of him.....wouldn't they be considereing knight?

 

[andrew_nixon]

Never heard of Adam Hollioake? He's been England one-day captain before.... Don't you remember his brother Ben, he (very sadly) died in a car crash in Australia last year.

They wouldn't be considering Knight for 2 reasons:

1: He's NO experience of captaincy at any level
2: He's just retired from ODIs
