question
Q: Ross Leipold – my best captain
I would rate Wayne Andrews as the best captain I played with.
Wayne took Gosnells Cricket Club to a premier cricket semi-final and was a very calm leader who impacted our team by being relaxed no matter what the situation and allowing the team to play at its best.
Even when individuals were struggling, his ability to help them turn their fortunes around played a big part in our success.
One particular time my brother Colin was bowling against Damian Martyn when he played for Wanneroo in between test and shield duties.
Martyn had taken to him in one over hitting straight and long.
Wayne had faith in Colin’s ability to take up the challenge for another over against Martyn.
Keeping the field up Martyn went for another big hit and holed out to mid-off. Just one example of the skipper backing a player to bounce back and come out on top.
Wayne also lead with the bat scoring over 1,000 runs and taking out the Ollie Cooley Medal as the best Western Australian Premier cricketer of the year.
