 Cricket Tips #2: The Captain - Cricket News
In cricket, the captain plays a very active role in the 'playing' of the game - their decisions on the field can directly affect the outcome of the innings, thus bad decisions will lead to disaster and good ones will often lead to victory.
Cricket captains, whether it be Ricky Ponting or your local club side usually have the most experienced and extensive knowledge about the game, as decisions must be made on the spot according to particular circumstances in the game.
For instance, the captain must be able to determine when a field change is required, or to be able to set the right field for the particular batsman on strike.

 Captain (cricket) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In cricket, the captain is the most important member of the team.
Cricket is a complex game and a captain's knowledge of the game and his shrewdness in the field are vital to the team's success.
In Test and first class matches, the captain also has the power to declare his team's innings closed, to decide whether to take a new ball when one becomes available after a certain number of overs and to decide whether to impose the follow on.

 For South Africa Captain of Rugby Captain of Cricket
On the cricket field, where he was a fine wicket keeper, but a nervous starter when batting, Castens claim to fame is that in 1894 he captained the first South African cricket team on a tour overseas, which was to the United Kingdom.
Moving on now, to Castens cricket career, and in particular to the 1894 tour of the United Kingdom, it is apparent that he did not enjoy the same success, both as a player and captain of the side, as that which he achieved on the rugby field.
When he retired from active sport he turned to the administrative side of cricket and he was involved in the purchase of ground at Newlands which, to this day, is still the venue of all major cricket matches in Cape Town.
