Rate the captains

Disagree violently. Won a WC, sure, but he's to us what Ponting is to the rest of the world.

To my knowledge, Ranatunga never faced calls (however idiotic) for his resignation from within his own country.

Or were those aimed at Ponting solely from Peter Roebuck?

Michael Vaughan, managed to beat the Aussies with a lot worse side in 2005.

Worse than what?

TBH, I dont have a clue about about half of those in the list. My Ignorance on the issue is just so appalling.

I abstain.

I think that it was only a select few and that point is more of an exaggeration than anything. Whilst there was a huge amount of respect from him in the side, I would never go as far as saying he 'milked his cult of personality for all it's worth'. You wouldn't be wrong in saying he wasn't an inspiring captain in the mould of Imran or Worrell, and you would never see him doing something like this but he never had to, really.

LOL. Out of all the famous inspirational speeches you choose that? Gold

Should have found one by EJ Whitten.

Yeah, pretty much.
