If you also consider that Gayle had a better team at his disposal I think it shows Sammy hasn't done badly at all. Losing in England is hardly a disgrace, but it's series' such as the one vs NZ that are important.

His wins are a testimony to his success and out numbers any other captains wins. It is not Pontings fault that along with good captaincy skills he had a good team as well. Sixteen test wins in a row , couple of world cups, other major test and ODI series are under his belt. I reckon if any captain is given those wins they would be more than happy.
