So well put

Oh sure why not?We can also have deputy captains,acting captains,subordinate captains,assistant captains,amateur captains,proffessional captains.Add to that,captain,vice captain and co captain.Gasp!Im running out of breath...You've got 11 captains.Satisfied vvv?

Taibu is simply great!! Being a 20 year old he is shouldering such a big responsibility!! I think he is doing a good job in spite of his mediocre resources...

Heath Streak at one point did have mediocre resources as well,and not to mention a team whose morale was sagging with the leaving of star players like Andy Flower and Henry Olanga.However,if Taibu is said to have done a 'good' job,Streak did an excellent job.In my opinion he brought out the best in them.And he DID NOT deesrve what he got in the end.The least the ZCU can do is give him back the captaincy,something thats tailor made for him.

Diva > Gee thanks.

I have no doubt that Taibu is up to the task, however I would prefer it if Streak took over as he has the experience. But it looks to me, no matter who will be nominated, the other will be giving advice constantly regardless.

I guess I AM glad that Taibu is the captain because he atleast follows those advice.I doubt if any othe peson would pay much attention to what othe's say.I remember Andy telling Robin Jackman just after his hatrick against Bangladesh that all the advice that his team mates gave him just before he bowled for his third wicket did nothing much except confuse him and in the end he decided to bowl blindly.(or maybe that was a vain attempt to be humourous.)

i think there´s no chance of a uturn but taibu played better under streak and streak excelled himself while captain.

for the record i don´t think streak was a good captain - just that as a player he improved a lot while he was captain. taibu is probably better and if he had experienced people around it shouldn´t matter (i think that´s been said)

[Streak-t.m.]

Taibu is good with the gloves and bat(to a certain extent).When it comes to the captaincy, he is still lacking.
Taibu should be the vice and learn from Streak.

carlisle was the best captain zimbabwe has had in the last 5 years. He excelled at the position as did his cricket!
