Quote of the Week (Usman), Post of the Week (OTW)

Never did attack enough, never backed his batsmen - one incident stands out, when Sri Lanka needed to chase a target on the final day in about 40-odd overs at a run rate of almost 6 an over. As soon as Jayasuriya fell, Tillekeratne ordered his batsmen to shut up shop - lacked faith in the rest of the batting, one of the worst qualities of any captain.

Ian Botham: Too much of an ego and a prospensity to get all the media headlines/focus on him, and almost zero man-management skills.

B.S. Bedi: Very negative and critical attitude towards many players, poor decision-making and generally not the brightest chap to have led an Indian team.

Honorable mentions: Brian Lara (clueless at points as leader on what to do other than just rotate bowlers), Kim Hughes (ffs, you're an Aussie. QUIT CRYING.), Moin Khan (Wanted: Active brain cells!), Lee Germon (make a guy cappo on his test debut, because of his media skills. BRILLIANT.)
