International Coach
I think he is often to close to the situation. Take Border and his good friend Geoff Marsh. I think most people could see Marsh was finished but Border would not hear of him being dropped, and when he was Border almost resigned.Langeveldt said:I think the captain should have a large say in selection, after all, he probably knows his players better than anyone, and his neck is on the line if the team fails..
Plus take Rcky Ponting who hardly ever plays any first class cricket, how does he know which player is in form? (apart from looking at averages)
