Award-winning cricket writer Mark Peel charts the development of
the England captaincy - from the autocratic captains of the
post-war years to the dual captaincy of the present, where power is
shared between captain and coach. Peel examines the huge demands
the England captaincy imposes on the occupant and why few leave
office with their reputation enhanced. You'll learn about the
long-lasting legacy of the Hutton captaincy of the mid-1950s, the
downfall of mavericks such as Brian Close, Tony Greig and Mike
Gatting, the success of the Illingworth and Brearley eras and the
chaos of the 1980s, when captains came and went with regular
abandon, and finally the glory years of Michael Vaughan and Andrew
Strauss. The Hollow Crown contains individual portraits of the 43
England captains, exploring their background, philosophy,
strengths, weaknesses and the legacy they left, with special
attention given to the likes of Hutton, May, Illingworth, Brearley,
Atherton, Hussain, Vaughan and Strauss.
