Harsh Thakor Posted March 17, 2020 Posted March 17, 2020 (edited) Here I am pitting an all-time XI of great players who were captains in their career v a team of players who were never skippers of their country.Non -capatins XI consists of players who have never led their nation in tests. Captains XI Len Hutton Sunil Gavaskar Don Bradman (C) Viv Richards Sachin Tendulkar Gary Sobers Mahendra Dhoni (W) Ian Botham Wasim Akram Imran Khan Bishen Bedi Non captains XI Sehwag Barry Richards Barrington Weekes Pollock Miller Gilchrist Warne Marshall Lillee Mcgrath By a slender margin I would back the captains XI having more talent with the bat as well as allrounders .Non captains XI has a marginally better bowling attack.

zen Posted March 17, 2020 Posted March 17, 2020 what is interesting about a captains vs. non-captains game?
Rasgulla Posted March 17, 2020 Posted March 17, 2020 Can you make list of captains who got whitewashed at HOME vs Captains who never got whitewashed at home!
Nikola Posted March 18, 2020 Posted March 18, 2020 If i am not wrong gilly captained multiple matches for aus. What is dhoti doing there? this guy didn't even care about this format and ran away between important overseas tour.

Real McCoy Posted March 18, 2020 Posted March 18, 2020 (edited) 1 hour ago, Nikola said: Last series he played. Retired mid tour didn't he? The series was lost by the third test. He gave Virat a chance to captain a dead rubber and play another batsman and keeper. Also ODI was his best format, WC was quite close and he wasn't getting any younger. Sounds sensible to me. How did you see him "running away". Edit: Although @velu will object to the Dhoni not getting any younger part Edited March 18, 2020 by Real McCoy
