You’re wrong here. None of these players ever captained their side’s when they were playing cricket. Heck Buchanan never even played for Australia. All these players never got a chance to show their strategies or planning because they never led their team. Difference is, Waqar did and we all saw how pathetic he was.
You don’t have be a great or legendry player to be a good coach. Woolmer, Whatmore both were very average players and played very little first class cricket. But we all saw what they can do as a coach. But, since Waqar has captained Pakistan before, its fair to point that out because we have got a chance to see what he can do when he is at the helm of the affairs. Plus, the latest accussation of Yousuf that he consulted Waqar on his defensive field settings only prove our worst fears more and more right. Not that Yousuf is a very credible source, but still its something to think about.
