	rediff.com: cricket channel - 'I was very dedicated to the game tactically'
		Yes, if Brearley is reverently remembered today, it is only because of his astute captaincy, which made an otherwise not-so-strong English team a force to reckon with in international cricket in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
		Brearley, who gained a first in Classics and an upper second in Moral Sciences while at Cambridge and finished top in the 1964 Civil Service examination, had the rare gift of reading the minds of his players.
		Considering his scholarship and brilliant mental gifts, any career was open for Brearley when he retired as a cricketer after helping England regain the Ashes in a sensational manner in 1981, with Botham working those miracles of his in as many as three of the six Tests.

		Mike Brearley was probably the only Test match leader whose captaincy seemed to have a physical presence.
		Aussie commentator Allan McGilvray likened the working of Brearley's mind to the ticking of a clock and reckoned opposing batsmen were intimidated by what was almost a cocoon of thought enveloping them.
		Brearley's mind was the most important thing he brought to the game.

	effective leadership \| team management
		Brearley knew that very well: he also knew the importance of keeping himself available and his mind open to all avenues of information, to ex-players and to respected members of the media.
		Brearley tried a variety of tactics, every ploy he felt possible, in the effort to bring the best out of Edmonds and incorporate him into the team.
		Brearley took a key decision when the game seemed lost: Australia needed only 151 runs to win, and were two-thirds of the way home with five wickets left.

	book review - The Art of Captaincy by Mike Brearley
		Seemingly inspired by the Aussies' eagerly-anticipated and imminent arrival in England in 2001, this is a re-print of Brearley's 1985 classic covering all aspects from how to choose a captain, through selection, decision-making, batting tactics, fielding/bowling tactics and so on.
		Brearley defines his theme in fairly general terms so as to make the book enjoyable and readable to the average cricket fan.
		In some areas it certainly seems dated now, for example Brearley's views on the value of net practice, the role of a team manager and in lamenting the demise of the leg spinner.

	BookkooB : The Art of Captaincy - Mike Brearley : Compare Book Prices
		With sections on team selection, the captain's role in the dressing room and on tour, as well as detailed consideration of tactics, Brearley's scope is impressively broad, but it is his ability to dissect that great intangible of sport--the personality of the individual--that stamps his theorising with the hallmark of greatness.
		Although this is no longer the case, Brearley's work is equally applicable to the drive for success in any field and the man-management skills required of any successful leader.
		Nonetheless cricket is its prime focus, and the characters of Brearley's age such as Botham, Willis and Gower still capture the imagination as brilliant competitors and, more importantly for Brearley, as leaders of the England side.

		Brearley’s arm was broken in a tour match so Geoff Boycott led England in the final Test.
		With important contributions from Mike Atherton and Graham Thorpe with the bat and Darren Gough, Craig White and Ashley Giles with the ball, England won on the last day of the series in fast-fading light, as opposing captain Moin Khan tried to slow down the match.

		But coming from Mike Brearley, the most cerebral captain the game has ever seen and, perhaps, will ever see, it isn't astounding.
		Rated one of the greatest captains ever, Brearley became a legend for taking over the reins of the English team in the late Seventies, at age 34, and transforming its fortunes unlike any other skipper before.
		Now a practising psychotherapist in London, Brearley, 55, is the author of the bestselling The Art of Captaincy -- a bible for cricket captains, wannabe captains and fans alike -- and is a much sought after speaker on building winning teams and team management issues.

		El expediente de Brearley en grillo de la prueba en un batsman era pobre (él hizo un promedio de 22.88 en 66 turnos de la prueba), pero él era un capitán excepcional.
		Brearley asumió el control como capitán de Inglaterra en 1977 y pasó el papel encendido a Botham en el an o 80 (perdiendo su lugar de la prueba en el proceso).
		Brearley volvió al captaincy para la prueba famosa 1981 contra Australia en Headingley después de que Botham dimitiera, famoso encendiéndose ganar el fósforo y los dos fósforos restantes de la serie para ganar las cenizas.

		Brearley then toured India in 1976/7 where in the last test in Bombay, he made what proved to be his highest test score of 91.
		Mike was asked to take up the baton which he did and then inspired Botham and others to achieve historic wins in the next three matches; the famous Headingley win followed by the almost equally nail-biting Edgbaston win and the Old Trafford clincher.
		Mike Gatting was elevated to the captaincy in similar circumstances to Mike Brearley, if memory serves me correctly.

	Cricinfo - Players and Officials - Mike Brearley
		Mike Brearley was an outstanding captain - intuitive, resourceful, sympathetic and clear-thinking - but at Test level his tremendous record owed much to a superb and versatile attack.
		Brearley unusually combined a scholarly mind (a first in Classics and a 2:1 in Moral Sciences at Cambridge) and a total lack of intellectual snobbery, enabling him to make easy friendships at every social level.
		He never appeared ruffled either on or off the field: a favourite answer when a bowling change or team selection was criticised would be a smiling "You never know, the alternative might have been still worse." His batting record for England was inadequate.

	arbitrary constant - The Art of Captaincy by Mike Brearley
		Unlike most cricketers, Brearley was most famous for his skills as a captain rather than his skills as a cricketer.
		Brearley's inclusion in the team then was principally because of his ability to get the most out of the other players — particularly Ian Botham and Bob Willis.
		His was famously recalled to the captaincy during the 1981 ashes series when Botham resigned and the team were 1–0 down — they subsequently came back to win 4–1.

		And, yes, I realise that to compare one of the great batsmen of the modern era with England's master tactician, psychologist and, for Australians, practising proctologist, is to draw a bow longer than Bill Lawry's nose.
		However, even if Waugh is still trying to remember whether he should be holding the bit of the bat with the rubber on it or the chunky bit at the other end when he returns from Pakistan next week, the selectors should not panic.
		Brearley could have packed two post-graduate degrees and a paper on Freud's interpretation of the five-four field during the time he didn't bat in an average series.
