Zaheer not a bad option
by Preshit Dattatray Upadhye on Nov 07, 2007 08:55 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

I have seen replies being posted on who should captain India. Ganguly, Kumble, VVS and Dhoni are making the rounds. However I feel Zaheer could be the answer to the question.
1. He is senior and has experience
2. He is aggressive (Remember what he did to England after Jelly beans incident)
3. He is regular member in Tests and ODI's
4. He is not a Batsman (who usually takes pressure of captaincy and buckle down)
5. He is a good motivator
6. He is relatively young
7. He has experience of playing tests with all the test playing nations.

I wondered if anyone including selectors noticed this. So my choice is Zaheer followed by Ganguly and Kumble.

make sharad pawar as a nonplaying captain.

qualities:

ripe age
lots of politics
no onfield agression only off field locha
lots of money to offer opposition to lose.
good motivator
he goes to watch all matches.
can handle lots off pressure.
regular member.
can pay a player handsomely. 1 sixer-10000000dollors

etc.
you can justy go on with his qualities to be given a captains job.

the most important quality for being a captain is he does not have any knowledge of cricket thus he can take more confident and bold decisions than dhoni
