Graeme Smith? He would've only played under Pollock. Stephen Fleming played under Len Rutherford and Lee Germon.

Graeme Smith? He would've only played under Pollock. Stephen Fleming played under Len Rutherford and Lee Germon.

Also three games where Mark Boucher was captain.

Michael Clarke also played under three captains (including himself).

Never heard of him.

Graeme Smith or Michael Clarke? is it between these two or are there other players in contention?

I can’t be arsed stats guruing, but Viv *might* only have played under Clive Lloyd and himself.

I'm afraid you're mistaken, Sir. Viv also played under Deryck Murray.

Cheers. I had a feeling Lloyd had missed a match somewhere, but couldn’t be bothered to do the leg work.

Stephen Fleming played under Len Rutherford and Lee Germon.

Fleming also played under Vettori.

A couple of others - Clive Lloyd played under himself, Sobers, and Kanhai. Steve Waugh played under himself, Border, and Taylor.

Root not a bad shout to make it to 100 with just himself and Cook unless I'm missing something

 

[Red]

Healy played under Border, Taylor and Waugh.

On the contrary, Shivnarine Chanderpaul's list of captains is somewhere in the vicinity of a dozen

 

[Dan]

Boon has 3 - Hughes (1 match), Border, Taylor.

Frank Woolley has played under 14 captains in Tests which a quick google suggests is the most. If you include all formats, Chris Gayle has played with 17, including himself, which I think will take some beating.

If the discussion is broadening a few England players played under three captains in one series in 1988.

Did none of them play under all four?

Did none of them play under all four?

Not sure. That would mean research.

Graham Gooch played all five tests so he must have played under all four.
