The Australian cricket team has been a glittering thread running through the course of the country's history, personifying the dreams and disappointments of a changing nation. The most singular individual inside that team is the captain, a human being full of ideals, frustrations, quarrels and personal triumphs, and also the steward of an office, which has become, symbolically, the second most important in the land.
