Imran Khan - the best captain ever?
I've no reason to doubt that Imran Khan was the best captain ever, given that he managed to coordinate a notoriously all over the place but talented team into winning the World Cup. And that is the finding of this attempt to look at the measurable aspects of captaincy.
According to this the best England captains are Ray Illingworth, Michael Vaughan and Mike Brearley, in that order. Any thoughts?

But the very last table shows the results without taking into account performance data on runs/wickets and shows the 3 England captains you mention in the exact opposite order. So the interpretation is that Brearley was the best captain, Vaughan second, and Illingworth third, of the English captains. This seems to match what many would suggest to be accurate.
