Rev : Should Shiv bat at # 4 ? - ketchim - 12-16-2014
Hashim Amla -
"What I've learnt is that you've got to manage your time wisely.
That is one of the reasons I am batting at No. 4.
It give me a little bit of extra time to gather my thoughts"

Hashim Amla had just begun to answer the first question at the press conference when
Denesh Ramdin spotted a problem. Amla's voice, which usually barely rises above a whisper,
was not being projected at all. Ramdin though, knew how to fix that.
He reached across Amla and turned on the microphone in front of him, much to the giggles
of the audience who soon realised there is one thing :
Ramdin has more experience in than Amla: captaincy. ::LOL::
Re: Rev : Should Shiv bat at # 4 ? - ketchim - 12-16-2014
Amla and Ramdin both captained their respective Under-19 sides to age-group World Cup finals
but while Amla was a reluctant franchise skipper who stepped down after a season,
Ramdin seemed to relish the role for his domestic team Trinidad & Tobago.
He was the captain for the better part of the last five years before being relieved of the job.

This series will also be the first Amla captains at home.
Amla knows all eyes will be on him.
"Having made my captaincy debut overseas, I didn't have the hype and the attention,
which probably was a good thing because now I am a bit more settled," he said.
"Captaining at home will be something special."
