King Tendulkar Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 The way he leads his team with steely determination and imagination. He also leads them with his composed, determined batting. To me he is best skipper in world cricket at the moment.
bharat297 Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 Yep agreed ... Given the team he has to work with .. Id rate him as no.1 1. Jayawardene Ponting, Dhoni, Smith all form a cluster behind Jayawardene IMO. Also I feel Misbah ul Haq could be a good captain. Pity about the team he has to work with though.
Desi Cartman Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 just 6 months ago he was struggling in Aus .. but then he didnt have Mendis in the side .. He is a good captain but not the best IMO
Chorazin Reto Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 Where is Malinga? Hes missing an express pace strike bowler.
bharat297 Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 just 6 months ago he was struggling in Aus .. but then he didnt have Mendis in the side .. He is a good captain but not the best IMO Like I said, given the team he has to deal with ... he is probably the best.
veer Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 once he steps out of island, he struggles so dont bet on that..
vadodaravictor Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 once he steps out of island' date=' he struggles so dont bet on that..[/quote'] Yeah..and he is also powered by M & M
Dravid Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 g. smith is way ahead of everyone... jaya best cappy ROFLLL... he has 2 great spinners atm and he is playing in lanka... stop judgeing based on 1 tour... where was his great captainship in aus?
fineleg Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 Unless a captain can give a fight to Aus in Aus, and can play decently well in Away tours, we cannot say this. MJ is ok, but not the best or anything.

MJ is ok, but not the best or anything.[/quote'] Mahela fought pretty hard last series ... You have to remember ... Of course Smith and Ponting will have better records, but look at the teams they have. Besides Smith is not the best tactician. Playing a matchwinning innings as captain, doesnt necessarily make u a good captain ... Ponting is a good tactician, but given his side, poor tactics dont really result in losses anyway. Smith misreads pitches on a regular basis and often gets his bowling rotations wrong (or bowls players from the wrong end). However where Smith bounces back is that he can fight it out and try to make up for his mistakes. Remember Mahela took this Lankan side to the world cup final.
Predator_05 Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 He is a very good captain in ODIs. SL have won almost 60% of their matches under him, reached a World Cup final and won the Asia Cup
Chaos Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 He must be regretting having not found out about Mendis 18 months earlier .... they might as well have won the WC. thing is aussies will win even when the score is around 180. 180 from aussies = 250 cuz of their catching, fielding and bowling. And aussies will demolish mendis by using their feet unlike our ****...
Chaos Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 If sehwag can smash mendis like that, just imagine what aussies will do it him....
