Top 5 Players with most matches as captain in cricket.

The Ashes 1981

#3 Stephen Fleming (303 matches) (New Zealand)

New Zealand Nets Session
Fleming's captaincy numbers are not very impressive yet he features 3rd in our list.

Fleming was the captain of the Kiwis for a total of 303 matches. He is the only player on this list who has lost more matches than winning. As a captain, Fleming won 128 matches whilst losing 135. He also drew on 25 occasions having tied in 2. He had a win record of 42.24% and a win to loss ratio(W/L) of 0.94. Fleming will go down in history as the longest and probably the most successful captain of his country in a career that spanned 15 years. He captained a not so strong side for most of his career, which probably explains why his record as a captain is not comparable to other players on this list.
