Santa doesn't play or coach much cricket. I know because he told me one one of our regular updates to him about my kid's "naughty or nice" status.

But I told him he should give it a go.

Think about it, he's the perfect opening batsman. Sure he is overweight by modern standards but anyone who has the stamina to ride a sleigh all night, clamber up and down chimneys and lug that huge sack around would find scoring a hundred a cinch.

So I said to Santa that he should consider trying a few games when the Christmas break is over.

Christmas is well appreciated in the Garaway Household. As with many families, its a time for getting everyone together, for over-indulgence and for reflection on the hectic 12 months that we have had in 2017.

Leadership is practiced not so much in words as in attitude and in actions, said, Harold Geenen. And Sourav Ganguly did exactly that 14 years ago when he led his team to Australia in the first test at the GABA, Brisbane test. He was targeted by the Australian media for his inability to paly short and bouncing deliveries and told him to be ready for some ‘chin music’. It was a mind game which Australian Media and team had launched against a man who stopped their invincible run when they visited India in 2001-02 and lost the series 2-1 to Ganguly and his team.

There’s only one captain in a team, but everyone can be a leader.

The more you think, the worse your cricket mental game becomes.

Imagine what your perfect cricketing day would be like.
