Indeed

He's an interesting one. If he'd continued as captain I reckon it would have ended in tears because he was such a patrician ****

'doh. Missed his name on the list and just assumed he was being blacklisted for Bodyline
Bodyline was within the rules at the time. Plus it was excellent use of tactics and cricketing brains.

Speaking of which, no Greg Chappell? :ph34r:

I'll nominate a couple.

Geoff Howarth did a superb job with NZ in the early 1980s.

As did Mushtaq Mohammed with Pakistan in the late 1970s.
