Who is the best captain ever in world cricket ?

Question

this questions asked maybe so many times, sorry just wanna know becoz i wanna know ur opinion .

thanx.

Answer 1

Australia's   MICHAEL CLARKE. He's the future's best captain. In present also he is the best.

Answer 2

I would say Martin Crowe based purely on the 92 world cup. A weak team made it to the semis through smart bowling changes just to lose because he was injured and John Wright refused to follow the winning formula.

Answer 3

i think it is "MAHENDRA SINGH DHONI"

Answer 4

rickey ponting

Answer 5

Arjuna Ranatunga - guy turned mere fate of srilankan cricket .a inspiring captain who stood behind every player during good and bad times and made sure they got through it .if u remember his stand in a one day international against England. Australian Umpire Ross Emerson called Muttiah Muralitharan for throwing. he  took the team right from the bottom to the top most glory finally achieving the dream which no one cud have believed at the  start of the 90`s .from a perpetual underdog to the world champions in 96 world cup. current situation of srilankan cricket is all due to the efforts which were put by ranatunga .never did he have leisure of worldclass players at the time srilankan cricket was in developing state but he turned all of them into worldclass player with the shear oppurtunity he presented to them .as jayasuriya was made to open along with kaluwitharana .

may be stephen fleming and imran khan would close in 2nd and 3rd postn respectively

Answer 6

Many Captains have done great things for their teams...They all were great in their own ways..

From Aussie point of view,Allan Border & Steve Waugh....Indianz like Kapil dev as he gave them the world cup...Pakistani's like Imran Khan...S.africans wud say- Hansie Cronje...

My personal fav.s are :-

Imran Khan(not bcoz he gave pakis the cup but bcoz he was a great leader & had the vision for finding talented players...All players found by him are great like Inzamam,wasim akram,younis khan,etc)

I also like Hansie cronje & Arjuna Ranatunga(S.lanka).....

Now-a-days, mahela jayawardene & Ponting are good....  

Answer 7

In recent times, Ricky Ponting is unbeatable. He's a great great captain. Being a good captain's about being there for all the other players, and handling the whole team with intelligence. That's Ponting for you!

Answer 8

recently-- dhoni undoubtedly

overall-- steve waugh

Answer 9

Inzamam ul Haq

Answer 10

Stephen Fleming! I mean he is seen as the greatest thinking captain of maodern times! I think his brilliant. He just needed a more talented team, perhaps.

And of course, the in famous Hansie Cronje. What he did for S.A was really amazing!! a legend!

Answer 11

I'd probably go with Ricky Ponting or Steve Waugh...

Answer 12

Garfield Sobers

Steve Waugh

Navab of Pataudi

Imran Khan

Answer 13

Ricky Ponting  is successful coz he choose the players who r in form,,,,,,,not those players who r his friends............

Answer 14

The best captains I have seen are Ian Chappell and Allan Border. Both took over the captaincy when Australia was in the pits and they lifted the to be world beaters.

Waugh and Ponting are both good but both took over winning teams, neither had to bat to regularly save the side.
