CAPTAIN EXPOSED: South African skipper Hansie Cronje, who needed earpieces to get on-field instruction from coach Bob Woolmer.
CAPTAIN REFORMED: Mohd. Azhzruddin, who displayed rare, but welcome aggression on the field.
TIGER TAMED: Ajit Agarkar, the fastest to 50 wickets in ODI, being slammed for four fours in the 47th over.
