Captains

I tend to think World Cricket is suffering from a lack of great captaincy at the moment . With the singular exception of Michael Vaughan who has done a sterling job. Fleming has been good but he has not always had a team to back up his efforts.

Ponting, as long as he needed to do nothing, seemed to be going well. The moment, questions were asked of him, he has come up way too short. About Ganguly the less said the better. I have lost all respect for this man. He has gone from being a hero to a villain quicker than anyone else in history.

Inzy is improving but has a long way to go. Smith has been so-so. Atapattu hasn't really been tested. Chanderpaul has been extremely average.

I would like to know your thoughts on this issue. Which captains do you like ? Whom do you hate ? Who are the tactically astute ones ? Who are good performers ? Just about anything you wish to say.
