	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.
		However, no England captain who was not generally considered to be worth his place as a player has been appointed since the late 1980s, although Nasser Hussain's place in the team was arguably preserved by his successful captaincy at times when his batting form was poor.

		In other forms of cricket, if a player gets injured or becomes ill during a match, a substitute is allowed to field instead of him; though he cannot bowl, bat, or act as a captain or wicket-keeper.
		Originally played with only two stumps and a single, long bail, Sevenoaks Vine C.C. established a third stump and second bail (folklore suggests that a certain bowler continuously bowled the ball through the middle of the stumps, but due to the speed nobody could tell for sure).
		The team involved were rarely fully representative, and the 48-day boat trip between Australia and England was one many cricketers were not able or willing to undertake, and so the Home teams tended to enjoy a great advantage.

		If such a match is abandoned without completion due to an impossibility of continuing the play, because of an extended period of bad weather, unruly crowd, or any such unlikely event or situation, the result is declared as No-Result if fewer than a previously agreed number of overs has been bowled by either team.

	The loneliness of a Captain - Sify.com
		There never was any doubt that captaincy of a national cricket side can be a lonely affair, given that a skipper has to lead the team and at the same time maintain a distance as well.
		Imagine the toll it can take on the captain’s mind, it is not something that the man who is captain would like to do but his duties as skipper force him to.
		All humans are subject to nervous tension; it is the ability to control it which is the main distinction between the ordinary captain and the good and the genius.
