Having it both ways

The widely held view is that once the 11 players have taken the field the captain is in control. He will, in a side playing well, spent around 12 hours changing bowlers and field placings to take the twenty wickets needed to win a test match.

If he gets it right he takes all the plaudits, if he makes a right horrocks of it he blames the coach, puts his bat under his right (or left) arm and demands a clear the air meeting with his bosses boss
