Azhar was a very ordinary captain. One reason why his record was the best at that time was Tendulkar. Tendulkar was in prime form when Azhar was captain an won a lot of matches from impossible situations.
Besides, towards the second half of his captaincy, started his infamous affair with Sangeeta Bijlani. He used to bring Bijlani inside the players dressing room and the romance of the duo was not exactly the best way to motivate players in the middle of a match. He was an idiot.
Anyways, back on topic, captain clever is back and its business as usual. I have a feeling that we will win this one by an innings and 100 runs.
