From 1877,when Gregory and Lillywhite found themselves as opposing captains in the first ever Test,through to the latter day heroes - and,some would have us believe,villains - such as Gooch, Gower, Border, Richards, Imran Khan and Azharrudin,this book profiles them all, from every Test playing nation.Each captain's biography is accompanied by a statistical analysis of his achievements in Test cricket and highlights those for whom the responsibility enhanced or hindered his performance as a player.Each country's captains are profiled in the order in which they were appointed,with any major issues raised by the succession fully analysed.These include social mores, political motivations and reactions to the previous incumbent.This book offers a developing history of Test cricket in each country and a fascinating insight into the attitudes prevalent among cricket authorities throughout the world during the last one hundred years.
