Geoff Boycott says in The Daily Telegraph that Andrew Flintoff has 'an intuitive feel for the job' and would do a 'fantastic job' if and when Michael Vaughan retires.
I disagree with Vaughan that Flintoff cannot captain the side on a regular basis. I rate Michael as the best captain in the world at the moment and, if he recovers from his knee injury, he will take over. If he doesn't then Flintoff will do a fantastic job.
There is a theory that all-rounders don't make the best captains, but I don't subscribe to it. Garry Sobers, one of the greatest cricketers ever, was a successful captain of the West Indies.
Imran Khan, the best leader of men I have ever seen, lifted Pakistan to great heights, and Richie Benaud, whose opinion I respect, reckons that Keith Miller was the best captain he ever played under at New South Wales.
