Uzair: "Stats aren't everything but they do reflect your performance. Has holder ever been a man of the match? what is his winning record as captain? and to be honest when you see his tactics closely you find them hilarious. Darren Sammy also never had very good stats but he was a good leader. Holder, unfortunately lacks that."

The construction workers on the sand-pit next door to the stadium seem to be bowling faster than Holder....

Test cricket requires players who can contribute and excel regularly in at least two departments of the game.

A captain must have the additional effective leadership qualities.

Holder is been thrown into the deep end and he can't swim, and has no life jacket.

I would argue that right now, the WI team needs a leader more than anything else.

he was given the job cos of his POTENTIAL which would be seriously of great levels if he got to his mountain top.
bats with the chance of one day holding down a spot in the top 5. bowls with the potential of being a front line bowler in the future rivaling the greats of our past. talks with the right level of grammar up there with likes of jimmy adams.. brian lara ..so why not bring the future right here in the present?

Holder has not had the benefit of playing teams ranked below the WI.He has a team made up mainly of rookie players some of whom have FC averages dat shud never see them playing at Test level. It must be hard to show leadership qualities when constantly having to punch above ones weight

 
natty_forever 2016-10-21 15:51:47 

In reply to Maispwi... he has also not had the benefit of captaining at any level. That may be more of a factor.

Holder is serving the purpose of those who wanted him as skipper,it has nothing to do with leadership, more with following.

 
dayne 2016-10-21 20:32:38 

So if not Holder, who should be captain? It would be convenient if Johnson start making decent runs so the team would have more options when it comes to captaincy.

Dude we are ranked # 8 soon to be # 9 so we will always be punching above our weight.How else would you improve your ranking? LOL.

Sobers had the right approach. Pick the team first, then pick the captain.
