Captain Courageous

Captains Courageous will review the moments of inspirational captaincy, match winning innings or great bowling spells that have come from the best captains of cricket playing countries, who have toured Australia in the last 30 years. Whether it is the gruelling five days of a Test Match or the frenetic pace of a One Day International, pressure packed occasions arise where certain sports people perform better than their opponents.
