Changes to county championship coin toss take effect today

In answer to your question re: Sammy vs Brearley: Between Test matches and ODIs, as captain, Brearley won the toss 24 times and lost 29 times. In Tests, ODIs and T20s, Sammy has won the toss 65 times and lost 63 times. He has been uncannily impressive at calling correctly in T20s though with a record of winning the toss 29 times and losing 18.

dillinger , I thought it was great Info  ;D

Setting the field properly demonstrates a clear understand of your bowlers, conditions and even ability of your fielders.

But is captaincy overrated?

Lloyd for example had treadmill of greats and he really had to set one type of field.

So was he really a great Captain?

He seemed to have been an exceptional man manager which is a pivotal characteristic of the role.

For me moulding an ordinary team into a consistently winning unit, like Border did, signals a great Captain in my view.

For me Border was the best Captain of his era and one of the all time greats.

Brearley was also a good man manager and in speaking to Gatt he said on one of his first matches, Brearley as Captain at Middlesex, approached him, one of the youngest on the field, and asked words to the effect of "What would you do?"

Beefy also endorses him as a great man manager.

wait ....wait ...Mail came and did not apologise to dillinger :

for his horrible description of dillingers hard work ???

"state of mind" .......I guess : He gone and  "attack" dem Wind Mills ...  :-[

Well done to Ravi but his season is yet to really start....
