You pick the "gutsy" players first and make a captain from them not pick a captain first. seems you are bending the rules to fit your XI in it. I had great fun in trolling sachinistas bro but this is just a waste of my time. adios Yes, those are options too but in a gusty AT 11, a Pataudi for his batting with an eye (good record too considering that so no apples to apples comparison available) + captaincy (package) is difficult to leave out Link to comment

Maybe he realised his mistake gave it back with interest 6 months later in Sydney.. If Sachin was caught by Damien Martyn in the desert storm innings, we wouldn;t have qualified for the final and Sachin's dream year in 98 wouldn't have happened. Things leveled out when he was dismissed for 0 in the WC 99 super six match Link to comment

Pataudi's captaincy is overrated. he beat a NZ side which was not rated by Aus and Eng at that time. first but not really the best Link to comment

Most if not all, Aus captains will have a good record Link to comment
