Clive Lloyd On Captaincy

In the first of a series of exclusive interviews with legendary Test captains, Clive Lloyd CBE talks about the challenges he faced leading the West Indies.

When he took on the job in 1974, he did not have much captaincy experience behind him, but he went on to lead the side with great success until 1985.

He discusses the challenge this presented and the good fortune he enjoyed in being able to lead players such as Michael Holding, Andy Roberts and Gordon Greenidge.

He then talks about the time when Greenidge bought his team-mates some very special jerseys while on tour in Australia...

Clive , the real quote is :

" Form is Temporary.....Class is Permanent "

that reminds me of Ronnie Sarwan 

Big PuC chatting shyte as usual!! 

Even Holding say during the 75 tour of Oz how he say the players are big men and they should know what to do!  He lost control of the team.  Players were bickering and fighting, blah blah blah.

And it was the same set of players he had during his while career as cappo....who de ass came and went during his time?  Bacchus!  Wayne Daniels and a bunch of other good bowlers! 

He was no Frank Worrell!!!! 

I tend to agree with you Googs.


I have often wondered how effective  Lloyd and even Ponting would have been without such a world beating set of individuals.


Lloyd never rally had weak links, even with people filling in.
