Which is a key reason why we didn't make it. I haven't seen such a bad captain since dong.

Yeah, ABdV really hasn't impressed me as a skipper so far. I guess it's a case of 'too many hats' though. Best batsman, wicketkeeper and captain would be a lot for one player to do.

If we're going for specialist skippers, why not get Mike Brearley to spend 4 years qualifying then take over? Or Mark Taylor.

Kohli should not be playing T20Is at all. He should be conserved for Tests, and efforts should be made to ensure he doesn't suffer a slump in whites. Let Rohit Sharma and Raina stick to T20Is, as neither have a chance of cementing their places in the Test side. Taking a cue out of these specialist T20I captains, they can have someone like a Yusuf Pathan or Rohit Sharma or Pragyan Ojha (fair, that's a long shot) as a T20I captain.

Even though he's the best limited overs bat they've produced since one Sachin Tendulkar came on the scene?

I cbf addressing the other parts of the post.

If history is any guide, Fletcher would look to Suresh Raina as short form skipper if Dhoni needed replacing wouldn't he?

Not so hard considering it's Kohli. It will be a struggle to find a Kohli pic where he doesn't look like a douche bag who deserves to be punched in the nose.

Kohli needs to shave his monobrow a bit more I think. Although he looks like one of those guys who if he had a shave before breakfast he'd have a beard by lunchtime.
