Unlike Football and other major sports where the coach coins the strategy and the captain is just for the sake, whereas in cricket we see the captain taking all the major decisions. Right from the selection to the team plan, batting order, field placements everything is done by this guy and thus we give them lot more credit and criticism than in any other sport.
