It strikes me that this page isn't far off meeting the criteria in Wikipedia:What is a featured list? It would be nice to improve it up to the required standard and get it featured status. I'll make some improvements myself, it would be good to have other contributions too, jguk 12:35, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The list of one-day captains is a bit misleading. The order of Border, Bright, Marsh, Taylor, implies that Allan Border was suceeded by Ray Bright, who was suceeded by Geoff Marsh. Whereas Border (as indicated by the number of games), was the full time captain during that time, with Bright and Marsh replacing him due to injury. I'm not sure how this could be changed (you could have Border Bright, Border, Marsh, Border, Taylor), but it does seem odd that on Allan Border's page it states that his successor as ODI captain was Ray Bright.

Maybe the list of one day captains could be re-done similar to some other lists where people have held positions multiple times (e.g. Prime Minister of Australia) GK1 17:55, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Opposition Australia

Some of the series in the Test captains list say that the opposition was Australia! (e.g. Don Bradman 1948) How can someone captain Australia against Australia? GK1 17:39, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Some typos had sneaked in. Fixed now hopefully. Sam Vimes | Address me 17:41, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
