the top ranked teams are not lining up to play tests against us, when the west indies start selecting the best players and appoint the best captain, only then teams will be interested for test tours

This captaincy thing is overated. Cricket is one of the most individualistic sports. Ultimately the duel is between the bowler and batsman(vice versa). When you at bat, you think the captain could hold your hand to bat. Is you and you alone. Shit team, shit captain. Good team, good captain. Flip the coin.

Could not disagree more. A good captain knows proper field placing to get batmen out .

not only when the team is fielding do they need a captain. when you are the batting team there is just as much need for good strategy- for instance when the new ball is on and the pitch is making the ball turn the captain needs to know which batsman can handle the pitch and arrange his team to suit- there may be need to change the line up to adjust for such conditions- also there is the question of left-hand, right-hand partnerships, senior-junior etc. there is a lot to think about for a captain
and folks- that's why gayle thinks its too much work
there just are not enough grey cells available to do all that thinking :devil:

I forget the T20 world cup April-May.
The dearth of tests in the schedule make more sense now.
But the month in Australia still doesn't

Yes the captain must know how to set a field, but who bowling the ball. The bowler. He must know how to set field also. He bowling the ball. The batsman reacting to his pitch. The bowler should know where he is putting the ball. Whether it is in-swinger or out swinger. As a matter of fact all test cricketers should know how to set a damn field. If they don't then they are bloody defficient.

How this thread become a discussion on a captain's role?
never mind, is SW.net, ANY thread can be hijacked :)
