Over the years Cricket History has seen only 2 successful captains who were Bowlers, Kapil Dev and Imran Khan. Both captains won World Cup for their country. In my opinion bowlers should not be captain primarily for 2 reasons
1> They would normally get tired bowling and get exhausted
2> Incase he gets hit all over the park he would be totally dis-motivated to lead the team.
What do you think?
Anyone can be a good captain IMHO. Wicketkeeper, Bowler, Batsman, Fielder. 🙂
I think a person who can take pressure and excel under pressure should be made a Captain. The person should bring out the best in his men.
Outstanding leaders go out of their way to boost the self-esteem of their personnel. If people believe in themselves, it’s amazing what they can accomplish.
