Australia has never won a T20 world cup but have 3 IPL standing captain plus a deputy skipper in Steve Watson to make that 4. And the West Indies the only country to win two tournaments have not even one of their players captaining a franchise.
Brain power factor again?

IPL the biggest T20 tournament. No standing Windies skipper involved even though we have veteran players in the mix.

Pollard have great cricket smarts him even captain a game in the IPL?
Has Chris Gayle ever taken the rudder for a season?

In reply to steveo

Pollard better than any of those.

Each team seems to have a marquee Indian player who is first choice captain, and if they don't want to captain for one reason or another, then an overseas player usually takes it.

In Mumbai's case, Rohit Sharma (who may not have much captaincy credentials) is first choice, if he didn't want it then it would make sense for a long term overseas player to take over, such as Pollard or Buttler.

Because WI are generally dumb as fack, just look in the mirror you'll see what I mean.

Raggs, sorry but u does ask the dumbest shit not sometimes but all the facking time.

Gayle over Kohli?
Yuh simply don't read the play. Kohli out injured and Steve Watson steps up and Gayle the youngest veteran and having in his possession 2 winners world cup medals sits down.

 
CricketLuva4 2017-04-17 11:59:16 

In reply to Raggs

Yuh ever thought that Gayle doesn't want captaincy? Pollard too? The only West Indian I know who is sought after as captain is Sammy, he just can't always command a place in the team he plays for.

 
Andy99 2017-04-17 12:04:08 

In reply to doosra

His claim was a no brains to bat at 3 but these guys have shown they have no brains at all once they on the field some off it too

 
Andy99 2017-04-17 12:04:53 

In reply to Raggs

Doh know why I carry on but here's why Gayle ain't captaining RCB because he was one of the worst limited overs captain in cricket, ever.

Those guys have forthright views, massive egos to boot. I would then expect them to take up the reins if offered but and if it then goes bear-shaped look to back out.

Gayle has captained the tallawahs to two CPL titles that must mean the others are worse than shite

Incidentally he also captained the Stanford Superstars to victory over England

No to mention that he is the proud owner of two World Cup winning medals
Plus he is the leading exponent in the art of t20 batting
With that kind of resume he ought to be consulted. But dumb and their dumber supporters prefer to be led by a white man with no pedigree......

Ok I will eat my crow, I honestly forgot about his CPL record.
Only remember his WI days but yeah his CPL captaincy was impressive.

So your saying the players from the bigger cricket boards have the first pickings?

 
Raggs 2017-04-17 12:33:43 

I could be wrong but I know bigger brains
on this MB will correct me if I state this and proven untrue. No West indies player has been announced a skipper of any IPL franchise at the start of a season. Now 10 yrs old.
