Ranking cricket captains

[bulbul]

Dhoni is @ no 9 [only Asian in Top 10] :hatsoff: OZ completely dominated top test team in different era's :hatsoff:

So who is the most successful captain in Test history? According to Mr Mukherjee, it is Steve Waugh (pictured), captain of Australia between 1999-2004. It is difficult to disagree with his finding. Mr Waugh holds the record for the most consecutive Test wins at 15 (the team itself was unbeaten for 16). Indeed, Australians dominate the top 10 (see table). More surprising is that Clive Lloyd, whose West Indian team of the 1970s and 1980s is generally thought to be at least the equal of Mr WaughÃÔ, only comes in at number six. Sir Viv Richards, who succeeded Mr Lloyd, is an even lowlier 13th, trumped by far less lauded skippers such as 9th-placed M.S. Dhoni and 10th-placed Nasser Hussain (many remember Mr Hussain for being regularly thwacked by Steve WaughÃÔ side, which makes his captaincy record appear blotted, but in fact lost him few points in this ranking).

This should be interesting:

Mr Mukherjee’s next plan is to run his algorithm on teams from each decade. He says he suspects that the West Indies side of the 1980s will trump the recent Australians as the greatest ever. Still, it might just throw up a surprise worth arguing about.

Maybe he has taken into a/c the W/L/D ratios and before the 0-8 drubbing, MS had one of the best W/L/D ratios.
