Rose and published in London by Hodder \u0026amp; Stoughton in 1988. It is aimed squarely at those who play their cricket at club level, where the skipper must weigh up how to outwit the opposition over a long afternoon in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book draws on first-class, club, league, school and limited-overs cricket, and is illustrated throughout with anecdotes, field diagrams and humorous cartoons. Its subjects include a captain's preparation and duties, reading wicket conditions, running the side in the field, field placings for different bowlers, handling spinners, batting, limited-overs tactics and fair play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrevor Bailey contributes the foreword. The writer Stephen Chalke has named it among his favourite cricket books, praising it as a superb captaincy manual for those who play at a lower level than Mike Brearley. It remains an appealing title for the cricket library and for anyone who has ever led a village or club side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor Profile: E.M.
