ODIODI or Test?
I kinda know your point but most wickets in international(and the higher grades) cricket are catches. Bowling a batsmen out is pretty hard without any swing or deviation(after bounce). So you kind of have more luck to bowl it almost wide and hope the batter mis-times his shot and get him caught lolHeck, I consider myself better than Doherty =P

Ponting is shit now, his time is over.Where's Ponting?
watto and pup are the same age lolwutWatson is still so young for captaincy.I consider him after Clark.
Haddin can tell you all about itWatson eats schlong, you can't have a man at captain that has just come back from serious injury. You also cannot have a man that referred to himself as equal in allrounder status of Jaques Kallis, Freddie Flintoff, Sir Garfield Sobers and Imran Khan captaining your team, as he obviously has no idea about cricket. He needs to focus on his game at the moment and let the more experienced members of the squad do their job. When you've spent time with the players and understood their group dynamic, as I have, then you will understand what I mean
I'm sure you've made a counterpoint in there somewhere, feel free to clarify what it is.None of the two players above were all rounders......
A captain's own performance has a huge effect on his team. But that doesnt mean he has to be the best player. In Vaughn's case you are comparing a very average batsman, to Pietersen (an English great), Strauss and flintoff (a fine all rounder). Your comparison is even worse in the case of Steve Waugh, where you compare him to a great opener, the 4th best batsman of all time, the best wicketkeeper batsman of all time, the best legspinner of all time, and one of the top 3 pacemen of all time. If you do not perform as a captain, your team will not succeed.
And anyway, Strauss and Hussain have played against harder opposition, and have been better captains
