Collingwood on Captaincy



"I'd be lying if I said I haven't lay awake thinking
about the decisions I have to make as captain, it's a mentally tiring position
to hold. You have to look after every player when you're out on that field and
it can be difficult at times. The cricket match becomes a chess match. Being a
captain is hard but you get a great level of satisfaction from doing it
well.

Chess! Did he say chess?

So there is more to cricket than running after a leather ball.

Reminds me of a gent who talked about ‘x’ number of fools playing and ‘y’ number of fools watching.
