they should have a long time ago,a captain cannot make the side on captaincy alone, and its not like vaughan's bowling or fielding is anything to shout about either.
So what about Mike Bearley who was picked soley because of his captaincy?

You kinda have to have seen Brearley bat well to realise what a superb player he actually could be.
He looked so fantastic when he got it right, he was a little like Solanki, you just kept thinking "he'll get runs sometime, he must". Sadly, he never did in Test-matches. But his captaincy, plus that ever-present promise, kept him in the side for as long as it did.
