You should check your list, from what I know, Groucho Marx never played such a decadent game. --Pgreenfinch 16:21, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] One-day captains

Here's a thought - shouldn't the list make some reference to Adam Hollioake's period as captain of England's one-day side? While he wasn't the full captain at the time - it was made clear that the Test captain at the time was the more important - he was an England captain., so should probably be included in the list.

There are other examples of men who have captained the ODI side, but not the Test side. Knott springs to mind. I was going to add a separate table for ODI captains at the bottom of this article, but haven't gotten round to it yet. I also want to add a reference to Gooch and Gatting captaining rebel Tests in South Africa, jguk 17:08, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Rebel Tours

I'm unhappy at the rebl tours being included in this list. The tours were not organised via the ICC/TCCB and so have no more validity as "England Test Matches" as a match between English and Australian Journalists during an ashes tour. --Timdownie 21:41, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

It doesn't bother me, because the rubric makes it perfectly clear that those tours have no official status. I wouldn't mind losing them either, though, if that was the consensus. Stephen Turner (Talk) 09:35, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

I added these as the rebel tours are a part of cricket history that fascinates me. If the section is to leave this page, at least move it to a separate rebel tours page and provide a link to it on this page, jguk 18:04, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
