Answer 1

yes

Answer 2

As I.Chapel said it could be true b'coz he was the right candidate to take over from Steve Waugh but there were many reasons for not naming him the role model to lead the team.

Answer 3

Oh come on! If he had such promise he would have got the nod ahead of Ponting. Just remember, that in IPL he only has to concentrate & keep out of mischief for a few weeks, but in REAL cricket it would have meant towing the line for years. And we all know that is beyond Warne's capabilities.

Answer 4

considering theres over 100 years of australian cricket history that i dont know about i would find it hard to say that he was the best we never had as there may be more that could have done a great job that were never captain (someone like keith miller maybe), however he should be right up there on the list as i think he would have been an awesome captain

altho some of you may remember. warne actually did captain australia, however that was only in 11 one day games, of which he won 10, but that can be disregarding in my book as i believe test cricket is what its all about

Answer 5

Yes,right.he has a good cricketing brain.

Answer 6

Of course ! Shane warne has lead the Rajastan Royals to such a high level and definitely he will help the team to reach at least to Semis.

Answer 7

Yes, he and Mark Waugh!

Answer 8

Oh yes

Answer 9

Yes, a natural leader. Shame about the off-field stuff. I don't think Ponting is a great Captain. He just has a fantastic team.

Answer 10

I do not believe in that. As he was never appointed as the regular captain of australia so it will remain as a question. But in few occassion he was vice captain of australia and the record is not good. More so he played for a long period for australia but the selectors never entrusted him with the responsibility of the australian team. But as a cricketer he is outstandinng.
