Looks I will be the only one voting for captain. I have seen some very ordinary sides do very well because of excellent leadership. Richie Richardson (well his side was not ordinary but compared to the windies sides of 80s I think they were), Stephen Fleming, Daniel Vettori, Ranatunga (I am not sure the side was ordinary when he took over but I do think that he gave them a lot of self-belief), Imran Khan, Azharuddin.

yeah but you can also not win without a **** captain. Example M .Yousuf.
Example of **** keeper. Kamran Akmal. I seriously cannot recall a worst keeper at the international level.

I can bet my arse that Ashely de Silva would make Kamran look like Ian Healy

Geraint Jones in 2005, perhaps?
Also Prior, who has admittedly improved considerably, hasn't always been the most convincing with the gloves.

He was a SL keeper in early 90s. Played about 2 - 3 test matches and dropped twice much as that. Then he left a gun barrel straight ball coming at his middle stump from Kapil Dev.Pal you just lost your arse

Never seen such an atrocious keeper-batsman.

I would try to argue that both of those support my/Migara's line of argument - Geraint was one of the reasons that England team ultimately disintegrated and never fulfilled its promise, and that now, given that Prior is no longer a liability, it feels as if the side is potentially going places.

He has his issues with the gloves for sure. But i dont think its fair to compare his troubles with the gloves to G Jones & Prior (pre 2009 tour to WI) ATS.?
