The rise of an unlikely leader - ketchim - 03-29-2015 http://www.espncricinfo.com/icc-cricket-world-cup-2015/content/story/849553.html Someone who could relate was Graeme Smith, who was also named captain even though he was still finding his own direction. Re: The rise of an unlikely leader - ketchim - 03-29-2015 He probably just wants to get that one win right now," Smith said at his opening commentary stint of the fourth ODI. "As a young captain, you can get so nervous, you just want something to go your way." As if the cricketing gods were listening, West Indies won that match. Jason Holder finished the series as joint leading wicket-taker, with eight scalps. Although they did not come cheap - his average was 35.87 - the price he paid was worth it. In that content Holder showed his potential to lead from the front, which West Indies would need at a World Cup.  Re: The rise of an unlikely leader - ketchim - 03-29-2015 Holder was serious. He seemed to be concentrating on strategies in South Africa. He would hold conversations with Clive Lloyd often, especially at training, but only after he'd first bowled his heart out.
