Mike Brearley was not an outstanding batsman and didn't bowl a single ball in test cricket but since leading England to a 3-1 series victory against Australia in 1981, he's been widely acknowledged as one of the game's greatest ever captains. Why? The answer lies in his man management skills, his tactical nous, and attention to detail. He was England's ''cerebral captain'', so no surprise that he subsequently developed a career as a psychoanalyst. Mike Brearley talks to Rob Bonnet about the '"the Art of Captaincy" and current issues in the game.
