Job of the captain is over played these days. So many coaches etc draw up plans etc for the batsmen prior to the game.

I would agree with this in most sports. But not cricket. The best captains anticipate and the rest simply react. Jimmy Anderson was setting his own field this morning, simply to make sure he didn't concede too many boundaries and that should never happen when you insert the opposition, Cook needed to be stronger. Coaches don't decide bowling changes as the game progresses or fielding changes on gut feelings. Only captains can do that.

select a captain in your local league, that is doing really well. surely there is a captain at Glamorgan, or Surrey, Lancashire etc that is on form. make him captain, as he is already captain of his team. not sure if Cook is captain of his county side, but if he is or was never a captain, then its not easy to lead

This is very interesting, and I have a great deal of sympathy for such an approach. One of the best examples of this from yesteryear has to be Mike Brearley?

Nobody from the counties immediately springs to mind though.

Hi everyone, due to not having access to the email addresses that my previous usernames were linked to, and not being able to remember passwords etc, I thought it would be easier to simply re-register.

My name is Andy. I am approaching 50 and was born and spent the first 30 years of my life in Darwen. Played for various local football teams including Darwen Olympic, Marsh House, Ewood Amateurs, Blackburn Olympic, Sunnyhurst/Alex and Lower Chapel Olympic. Scored around 300 goals in amateur and junior football but never had enough natural pace to play professionally.

I was also a fairly well known pub league snooker and pool player in Darwen in the 80s. I have lived in Glasgow for the past 18 years, having promised my Glaswegian wife that I would "Fulfil your wish to move back home when Rovers have been crowned champions of England". A promise I made in 1988........

I saw my first Rovers game in the late 60s, and started going on a regular basis in 1972 when Tony Field was banging them in and Roger Jones was keeping them out! am a Darwen End season ticket holder along with my sons who are 24 and 19. We catch the train to and from games from our home north of Glasgow, a 450 mile round trip, and often meet Fife Rover and other Rovers fans on the train, along with supporters of many other clubs from all divisions. We can normally be found in either the Infirmary (or the Lockside Tavern as it is now known) or Uncle Jacks before games.

I have managed to persuade quite a few disillusioned Scots to make regular journeys to Ewood over the past few years, not so regular since we got relegated though, sadly.

My job entails representing the interests of Scotland's housing association sector with politicians and civil servants and I can often be found giving evidence in the Scottish Parliament and speaking at conferences etc. I mention Rovers at every possible opportunity. I carry the Arte et Labore motto into my working life and am proud to be a Rover, and have followed us all over the country.

My username is based on the fact that my favourite group in my formative years was The Jam, and it is nice to see the old boy still trotting out half decent tunes into his 50s.
