Do You Have The Potential Of A Cricket Captain ?
You are recently appointed as the new captain. Your team is to go to Australia this month to play three tests and seven one days. There are concerns about whose going to open the innings in the tests. Virender Sehwag is in a very poor form and you can’t really rely on him. Gautam Gambhir has not made in to the side this time and Wasim Jaffer is expected to perform after his double century in a home series against Pakistan. Sourav Ganguly also in good form is unwilling to open and so is Sachin Tendulkar. The options remaining are Dinesh Kartik who needs to replace Yuvraj if he has to open and Dravid. What would you do?

Your team has just lost a do or die one day match against Pakistan because of which your team has also lost the 3 match series 2 – 1. Your team is back in the dressing room and the scene there is not really good. Every one is in splits, blaming each other about certain instances of the match. Dravid blaming Dhoni about missing the stumping, Harbhajan making excuses about the over in which he gave away 25 runs, Sachin sulking somewhere in the corner for missing yet another hundred, and RP Singh declaring that Sourav Dada can’t field. Making the situation spicier Niranjan Shah (BBCI Senior Executive) announces the introduction of ‘performance based contracts’ which really upsets Sehwag who is relaxing with the mp3 player somewhere on the bench. What would you do?

Your team is into the T20 World Cup Final against Sri Lanka. You restrict the opponents to a draw which leads the decision to a bowl-out. This is the first bowl-out you are going to experience although you have a lot of T20 cricket experience by playing in the English County Cricket. The spot light is on you to nominate 5 men to take a chance with the ball at the on the stumps. The new entry in the team, Joginder Sharma is someone you can’t rely on after his disastrous line and length. You only had 4 bowlers in your team namely Shreesanth, RP Singh, Harbhajan Singh and Irfan Pathan. Shreesanth scraped his elbow during a dive in a match and is unavailable for the bowl-out. Players like Dravid, Souvrav and Tendulkar also aren’t there in your armory. Which five bowlers would you choose?

It’s just not looking like practice net sessions. Players are roaming around the park here and their busy with their respective ad agencies on their mobiles. It’s just getting impossible and more impossible by every session to get Dravid away from his laptop, Kumble from his cyber-shot camera, Sehwag from his mp3 player and Harbhajan from Tandoori Chicken and Barbeque. There is just no practice going on and you have the whole media breathing on your neck and asking you for the justification of Harbhajan’s selection despite of his bad form. Your team rating has gone down; there is a drought of winning celebrations in the dressing room. You really need to get them to the net practice mood. What do you do?

You are in West Indies, playing a 5 ODI series which you are leading 2-0. Recently, Anil Kumble was under a trauma as ICC had suspected his bowling action. You and your team mates were really supporting him in the thick and thin of this period. It was somehow by the team mates’ support he was able to escape a three match ban and now he is back to game. Problem arises when you being the captain have to emerge victories in the fight of ‘Personal Ego vs Team Performance”. Next match is at St. Lucia and the pitch reports predict favour to pacers. You have Shreesanth, Zaheer, Ishant and RP Singh almost the definite pacers you are going to play with. Team formation preferably should be 6 batsmen 5 bowlers. Now the competition for the 5th spot is between two spinners Harbhajan (who has been in a wicket taking streak recently) and Anil Kumble for whom your team fought with the ICC. What would you do?
