How to captain your team in the field: Introduction
Filed in:

England slip cordonOne of the first images of captaincy that springs to mind is the leader in the field. There is nothing as commanding as a skipper orchestrating his side with precision, especially when his tactical nous leads to a wicket.

Captaincy might be about a lot more than that, but it's this element that naturally draws people to the job. I'm sure you have imagined yourself exuding calm authority as captain. It demands admiration and respect.

What does a good captain have to do in the field to be like this? It boils down to three elements.

As always your feedback is welcome via comments, the forum or email.

Cricket Basic Number 63 (Batting): Be Adept at the Cut Shot

63. Learn to cut. The cut is a classical and rewarding shot that all batsmen should be adept at. The cut is a great value shot because most good bowlers focus on the off-side so balls ripe for cutting can be expected more often than, say, half-volleys on leg-stump. The cut, if played to the right ball, can be well controlled, is not too risky to execute (make sure your bat is light enough), uses the pace of the bowler (so doesn’t have to be hit too powerfully) and is quite place-able.
