Since I would be discussing captaincy in this essay, I might as well point out at the outset – few things that one looks for in a good captain. In classic warfare, it is believed that failures are a result of poor leadership and passing on the blame to those under you is misplaced and discouraging. Same goes for cricket, a captain is held responsible when things go wrong and any weaknesses in him spread through the team which have an impact on the overall result of the game.
