From a tactical and man management perspective, Mike Brearley.

Think Pietersen could have been great, Chef has developed into an effective captain, Brearley did a great job but Strauss saw a genuine turnaround in English cricket and although he allowed Windies to win the away series due to over cautious tactics, Strauss for me.
