  4. M S Dhoni, Inzi and Shane Warne they r perfect in their captaincy.

  5. Hansie Cronje, David Gower,Kim Hughes, Daniel Vettori,Greg Chappell, & I prefer not to air my reasons.

  6. In modern cricket

    1. Stephen Fleming

    He had a relatively poor new zealand side, and yet he achieved a lot of success, and new zealand reached new heights with him. He is a great, probaly the best tactic person, very shrude and clever.

    2. Michael vaughan,

    A very clever man, with sometimes very strange feild placing, which a lot of the times work. Hes got england back two number 2

    3. Shane warne

    I know he didnt capatin australia, but he is one of the cleverest palyers of the game, and is very shrude and daring

    4. Mahela Jawardene

    A very composed and clever captain, and puts very little pressure on his side. Brings out the best in his players.

    5. Ricky ponting

    Hes had one of the greatest sides, but his capatincy is quite good.

  7. Sourav Ganguly, Viv Richards, Allen Border, Imran Khan, Kapil Dev

    These are the people who lead their teams very properly under any circumstances...

  8. M.S.dhoni -1st

    sourav ganguly-2nd

    ponting

    kapildev

    pollock

              bcoz they have so many victories ih his captaincesand they have the ability to control his team.

  9. Arjuna Ranatunga, aka Captain cool was instrumental in bringing SL to what it became and the 1996 WC victory.

    Sir Viv Richards - His brilliant batting kept the moral up for WI to keep maintaining their top ranking in world cricket.

    Stephen Flemming, didnt have much of a team, but through superb leadership proved NZ as a force to reckon with.

    Imran Khan, a legend in Pakistan, lead them to WC victory in 1992, a great inspiration to his team mates.

    Steve Waugh. he brought the Aussies to the top for Ponting to keep it there.

  10. Viv Richards, Steve Waugh, Allen Border, S.Ganguly, H.Cronje

    reason: They were Competitive and holding better records as captains

  11. Douglas Jardine (this won't go down well with the Aussies!!!). Tactical genius, inspirational leader, and very brave.

    Ray Illingworth. A good captain in a tight situation.

    Allan Border. His leadership turned Australian fortunes round, and the side he built was the catalyst for Australia's total dominance over the past 10 years.

    Nasser Hussain. Made England a tougher outfit.

    Imran Khan. Inspirational leader of a fractious Pakistan side.

  12. s. waugh

    s fleming

    imran khan

    h cronje

    s. ganguly

    naseer hussian

  13. Watch a Lot of Cricket & Bollywood Films , Live in a Fools Paradise.

    Bollywood is Controlled by Islamic Mafia based in Karachi & they are all promoting Muslim actors DELIBERATELY. Have you visited any indian Jail  , muslims make 60 Percent of the inmates. You north Indians don't have a character.

    Cricket is sponsored by indian government , again deliberately to keep the Indian people , away from issues concering them .;

    Do you know about the nuclear deal ? Do you know Chinese are usurping Indian territories & indian government cannot do anything about it ? Do you know about the corruption in Indian Defence Establishment ??? Do you know about HINDU GENOCIDE ? How Hindus were massacred in Bangladesh & Pakistan , how millions simply vanished ? Do you know about Taslima Nasreen ? How Hindu girls were raped Muslims in Both Pakistan & Bangladesh ?

    NOTHING .

    You people live in a Fools Paradise .....that's exactly what politicians want ?

    Even if India wins 1000 cricket matches against australia , it will not change anything on the ground .

    Cricters are Semi Literate Country Bumpkins , that's the reality , they are powerless against Politicians & are really Good For nothing .

    Politicians know this & so they promote them ..... They are not HEROES but ZEROS .....( same holds true about Muslims KHANS in bollywood & Bollywood Itself )

    Live in a FOOL's Paradise .

  14. ms dhoni,ms dhoni,ms dhoni, ms dhoni, ms dhoni.

    he is so calm & cool.

  15. I'll tell you about captains i saw playing

    1 Steve Waugh - Iceman is the greatest captain in the world his captaincy won may matches for Australia.

    2 Ricky Ponting  - Only captain I ever saw who performed 3 times better since overtaking captaincy where others could not perform.

    3 Stephen Fleming - He had no great players in His team and still he knew how to use his resources well.

    4 Rahul Dravid - Most Underrated Captain won India test series in England and WI but was never given any credit for any victory.

    5 Trent Johnston - Captain of Ireland he told his team before World Cup to enjoy which everyone says but in his captaincy team enjoyed every moment and won some great matches

  16. I THINK STEVE WAUGH and M S DHONI ARE GREAT CAPTAINS.BECAUSE THEY PLAYED AND ENCORAGED THE TEAM IN MANY PRESSURE SITUATIONS.EXAMPLE ARE "IN 1999 WORLD CUP,STEVE WAUGH BOWLED LAST OVER OF THAT MATCH IN SEVERE PRESSURE CONDITIONS WITH HIS CAPTAINCY" AND FOR DHONI "20-20 WORLD CUP:HE GIVES BOWL TO JOGINDER SHARMA AND OVERCOME THE PRESSURE SITUAATION WITH HIS GREAT CAPTAINCY"......some of other great captaines are SOURAV GANGULY,SHANE WARNE,RICKY POINTING.

  17. allen border

    vivian richards

    kapil dev

    ricky ponting

    saurav ganguly

    these captains were/are so good with their bowling choices & fielding placements that they [could] make a close match into a winning one..............................

    Imran khan - lead Pakistan from the bottom of the table to winning the world cup in 1992 plus a great allrounder in his own right

    Michael Vaughan- the best england captain of the last decade,lead engalnd to a mighty Ashes win in 2005 and  in fantastic form at the minute

    Ricky ponting - captaincy record speaks for it self and a brilliant no.3 batsman

    Sir Vivian richards - the mighty West indian who gave it his all with the bat and was a great role model for the future of west indian cricket

  20. Indian cricket team is a huge pile of c**p.It is just a HUGE HYPE.

    Indian cricket team should be compared to Bangladesh &* Bermuda ......Have you forgotten the World Cup 2007 , when India crashed out.

  21. Dhoni,Steve Waugh, Jayasuriya, Kapil Dev, H.Cronje

    reason: They were holding better records as captains

  22. my 5 top cricket captains are ricky ponting,saurav ganguly,stephen fleming,snane warne nd greame smith. i like these captains bcoz they all r very aggressive,talented, intelligent nd smart cricketrs nd they never seems to be in pressure in any kind of situation nd circumstances.they all have very good ability to lead the nation as they all had prooved it in there carrier
