Hi people,

   Many of you may have already seen this - Pataudi's interview on
redifindia. He talks about captaincy and related issues. Since there is
already a discussion going on "Good / Bad Captains", it may make a
nice reading for enthu people.

I read through the article, and it seems to me that Pataudi is only claiming
that The Little Master is the best captain of *India* he has seen (and
in the last paragraph at that). He is much louder in his praises of
Benaud(in particular) , Brearley and Imran.

I have to agree on Benaud, and regret that I didn't bring him up on
the "Greatest Captains" thread. He was a bit grim and stodgy at times
but he never lost a series and lead from the front.
