Cricket, frequently said to be a gentleman’s game, is about more than just the players on the field of play, it is also about the leaders who know their worth despite the game’s ups and downs. Ricky Ponting and Clive Lloyd Cassel have a special place in history, not only for their individual talents but also for their outstanding leadership in leading their respective teams to two World Cups.

Clive Lloyd left a legacy that is still felt today. Lloyd led the West Indies to back-to-back World Cup titles in 1975 and 1979, and another great leader was great Ricky Ponting. He led the Australian cricket team to consecutive World Cup trophies in 2003 and 2007, joining an elite group of captains who achieved this astounding achievement.
