Description
Matt speaks to CHARLIE CAMPBELL about the art of amateur cricket captaincy in his book HERDING CATS. While the elite players only have to worry about matters on the field of play, Charlie talks us through the myriad problems facing an amateur captain - from having deep pockets, a clean driving licence and strong diplomatic skills.
