- Australian bowler Rodney Hogg quipped that Mike Brearley had a “degree in people” - an apt description for a limited batsman who became one of England’s finest captains and penned arguably the best treatise on the subject.
Yet he still captained England in 31 of his 39 tests with an 18-4 win-loss record, which spoke volumes for the leadership qualities of a player blessed with legendary man-management skills. There were others too who felt he was fortunate to have the likes of all-rounder Botham, batsman David Gower and bowler Bob Willis simultaneously at their peak.
Critics pointed out that quite a few of Brearley’s wins came against sides weakened by defection to the rebel series and that he never led England in a test series against the all-conquering West Indies side.
