For a range of reasons, Jim Dixon from University of New South Wales Cricket Club was the best skipper I played with.

Whilst I didn’t play with him when he as the first-grade captain I did get to know him as a person who engaged with and led the whole club from firsts to 6th Grade and the clubs women’s teams.

In doing so he was always willing to provide both technical and tactical advice, as well as some high-quality mentoring of young players, whilst maintaining a good balance between seriousness and (usually off field) larrikinism.

When he decided to retire from 1st Grade, he made the very valuable club contribution of staying on as a player to skipper or just fit in with our lower grades - whatever the club required.
