This is the approach I followed when I thought my team had enough runs on the board and we were running out of time... get the whole team run out. Advantage of this pre-declaration days tactic is that you remain unbeaten and boost your average
Getting your team run out is all I can see as a possibility but in doing this it is not in the sprit of the game nor is getting yourself runout and then letting the other player playout the innings or hope that the captain then decides to declare as this just waste more over in which you have to bowl the other team out.
You should be able to declare regardless of if you are team captain or not.
