- Waqar is the most successful bowler skipper winning 10 out of 17 Tests led. Only one other bowler has a fifty percent record - Lillywhite with 1 from two.

- Pollock (14 from 26) is the most successful bowling all rounder captain. Only Giffen (2fr om 4) of the others has a fifty percent win record.

- Gilchrist (4 from 6), Rashid (4 from 6) and Boucher (2 from 4) are the most successful keeper captains.
