List of Australian national cricket captains

I am nominating this for featured list removal because...it fails criteria 1, 2, 4 and 5 of the WP:WIAFL. The prose in the lead is very choppy and needs to be worked on. The lead itself is very short for such a long list. Those 3-4 sentences in each section are written very poorly. Why does this list keeps reminding us that it's complete? I think it is obvious that it's complete. None of the notes in the tables are clickable, which makes it very hard to navigate around. Reference formatting needs a lot of work also. All the sources are spread out throughout the page and very hard to find the one needed. Crzycheetah 20:04, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

Remove - Lead leaves a lot to be desired; among the problems is the bold "this is a list of" that has become frowned upon at FLC, and a lack of citations. I agree with the nominator that the repetitive introductions are annoying, and that the formatting of the references used needs work. A disambiguation link also needs to be repaired.

 * Has someone been notified? And is there a WikiProject for this?
 * "This is a list of the men, boys and women"—bizarre.
 * The opportunity to spark readers' interest in the table they're about to digest is completely overlooked. If no one is willing to do the work, this is destined for demotion.
 * Unsure why the teams should be "hidden" pipe-linked a zillion times in the table next to unlinked items that look the same. All of these teams should probably be linked in the lead (a few don't even make it into the slender lead, I think), and plain text in the table. Good to have the pics.
