    Good question.

    How much does captaincy impact results?

    I only have to look at the transformation of the England side when Brearley took over the captaincy from Botham. One could argue that it was Botham who was transformed without the burden of captaincy but I still rate Brearley's leadership highly. As for Chappell and Illingworth, it was the...

    Airplane Ticket Draft

    Brian Statham (to complete Round 5) Bob Willis (to start Round 6) I left my selection of pacemen too late to fly elsewhere to select.

    Garry Sobers vs Imran Khan

    The whole concept of even considering Sobers and Imran being remotely on the same level is beyond my comprehension.

    How much does captaincy impact results?

    I can think of 5 Ashes captains whose leadership was vital to their teams success. Richie Benaud, Ray Illingworth, Ian Chappell, Mike Brearley and Alan Border. I saw all 5 in action and they were great captains

    The Best Wicket keeper?

    Having seen Knott keeping to Underwood on a 'sticky', he gets my vote.

    Interesting. I thought you might have gone for Waqar or Wasim for your pace attack.

    Greatest XI for your County/State

    Serious oversights. They could replace Edwards and Inverarity. I must confess, I relied heavily on my 50th Anniversary (1947-1997) album of collector cards. As a result, the obvious selection of Gilchrist was the only more recent pick.

    Greatest XI for your County/State

    Western Australia didn't play Shield Cricket until 1947 but this line-up isn't too bad. Bob Simpson Justin Langer Ross Edwards Kim Hughes Damien Martyn John Inverarity Adam Gilchrist Bruce Yardley Dennis Lillee Graham McKenzie Terry Alderman Unlucky: Geoff Marsh, Rod Marsh, Tom Moody, Cam...

    Who after a full career remains the worst tailender you have seen?

    Bill Bowes would be a candidate (although I didn't see him play, I saw cartoons by Roy Ulyett depicting him.) He took more FC wickets (1639) than he scored runs (1531). The same applied to Tests (68 wickets and 28 runs).

    Mundane sightings of high-profile cricketers

    I gather you are referring to Lock. This was after his FC career and after he had modified his action. All looked fine.
