    Amanda Kendal: Mike Brearley - not a great player, but a superb captain. 31 Tests as skipper, 17 wins; 4 defeats. And that Ashes series.

    Ralph MacGregor: Best ever captain, surely Dai Greene has to be in with a shout. Team GB at London 2012 getting a record medal haul?

    The 37-year-old said he would retire after the Cricket World Cup and he scored four centuries during the tournament, before Sri Lanka lost in the quarter-finals.

    But the country's sports minister, Navin Dissanayake, hopes a government-ordered overhaul of the country's cricket system might see him play internationally again.

    "As sports minister, I humbly appeal to Kumar to reconsider and play for the country for at least one more year," said Dissanayake. "I spoke with him in New Zealand and he was very disappointed and unhappy (with the cricket administration). Now there is a change, I think there is a possibility he will change his mind."

    Sticking with football, and Uefa and world players' union Fifpro have asked the European Commission to outlaw third-party player ownership. They argue that businesses or funds owning the economic rights to players can be harmful and undermine football's integrity.

    A global ban on third-party ownership by the sport's world governing body, Fifa, comes into effect on 1 May.

    The Uefa/Fifpro move is understood to be an attempt to counteract a complaint to the European Commission by the Spanish and Portuguese leagues, who want continue the practice.

    Throughout today, we have been asking you to suggest who you think is the greatest ever sports captain. We started this with reference to Leeds Rhinos skipper Kevin Sinfield, who will be ending his highly-successful career in rugby league at the end of the season to switch codes and join Yorkshire Carnegie.

    If you want to know more about Sinfield and just how influential he has been for Leeds, you can read Matt Newsum's feature on the 34-year-old former England captain.

    "Sinfield will end his rugby league career, or at least the first chapter of it, as a one-club player having forged the tightest of bonds with Leeds," writes Matt. "That loyalty is backed up by a humility that belies his achievements, a down-to-earth personality in a tough sport."

    Well, not if you play in Bulgaria. And haven't been paid for three months.

    Latvian goalkeeper Maksims Uvarenko, who plays for debt-ridden CSKA Sofia, is so broke that he has had to borrow money off his parents to pay his rent.

    "The lack of money is the biggest problem I've faced at CSKA," said Uvarenko.

    "I still haven't received any salary and I've been at the club for three months. My wife and I are expecting a child and we can't afford to stay without money. I was forced to accept some cash from my parents to pay the rent on our apartment in Sofia."

    Manchester City captain Kompany was sent off in Belgium's 1-0 win in Israel and will miss the European Championship qualifier in Cardiff against Wales on 12 June.

    "Losing Kompany, their top defender, it doesn't get any better than that for Wales," said Thomas.

    "Hopefully we can exploit that weakness at the back. We can beat Belgium. We have Gareth Bale who's unstoppable, so is Aaron Ramsey and so is Joe Allen. We're looking powerful."
