Answer 1

If you consider previous performances as captain & as a batsmam/bowler who kept the team spirit always high.. it is non other than Mahela Jayawardena.

Answer 6

It has to be Ponting.

Although if Stephen Fleming or Michael Vaughan were still around, they would be close.

Ponting has the highest winning % of matches as captain in both tests & ODI's.

Most victories as ODI captain and most test match victories won in a row.

At the moment no-one runs him close, Ok so Ponting has always had a great team around him, but no random Joe Bloggs could turn up and build a winning team like he has
