S-cap-tains

With Waugh's (unfortunate) stumbling Farewell Series coming to an end, I recalled that one great ambition will not have come to fruition during his tenure as an Australian batsman. Glenn McGrath will not have got that Test Fifty that he trained under the older Waugh for.

Saurav Ganguly's praiseworthy decision of coming in at Number 4 (will earn much symbolic value) in the 2nd innings of the Melbourne Test is not the first time that he has tried to show he is a captain of the team rather than merely a player - he came out to open with M.S.K Prasad in Toronto during the Sahara one-dayers there in much worse batting conditions.
