Q: Who ate all the Jelly Beans?

It was a 40-degree day in Newcastle for day 2 of the final round of the Australian Under 19 cricket championships in 2001.

NSW v South Australia in a fairly star-studded line-up. NSW had Dan Christian, Aaron Bird and Jason Krezja and South Australia had the great Shaun Tait, Callum Ferguson and Mark Cozzy Cosgrove. Many ended up playing for their country.

As we started the day South Australia had the upper hand as NSW were chasing and in big trouble. With a full day to go, we were playing for the draw.

Q: Does the captain of a cricket team have to be the best player in the team?
A: I wouldn’t over complicate this- capability demands respect. So they certainly have to be in the top 2 best players in the side at the time they’re selected (ie highly unlikely to be dropped in foreseeable future). They also have to be the most valuable- add in communication, temperament, gamesmanship and maturity.
