In ODIs does anyone get near MS Dhoni in that aspect?

Bats well, bowls well captains well. Has to be Imran I guess. Armstrong is a very underrated candidate IMO.

Think captaining Pakistan so successfully derserves infinite kudos, tbh.

Seeing the current state of Pakistani cricket makes you appreciate that even more.

Sad to see Both omitted from the poll, had to vote for Richie on the grounds that Imran plainly doesn't deserve a 12-nil lead, fine player for my county though he may have been (on those occasions when he deigned to turn up)

Armstrong. Aussie cricket then was as dysfunctional as Pakistani cricket in Imran's time. Armstrong averaged near forty with the bat pre-WW1, and was a very effective leg spinner as well. Plus he had an 80% winning record as captain and drew the other 20%. He never lost a test as skipper and should have captained a lot more but was constantly fighting with the fairly incompetent board of control who hated him. Led one of only two Ashes whitewashes as well.

Vettori.
 Though I suppose only captaincy counts, not coaching, selecting, driving the team bus, cooking dinner, parenting Southee and Williamson, dragging Ryder to hospital for stomach pumping, making the team lunch, splitting the firewood, fixing the car, building the shed, cleaning the gutters, making the drinks, rolling the pitch, being the psychologist, being the nutritionist, helping the players with their homework, running NZC, running a top secret spy network, lollin' at Aamer, buying Greatbatch pies and tolerating the rest of the country. And after he does all that Shakib still gives him liquid soap in the showers.
