My Take
Allan Border is my idea of a captain forged in hard times. Inheriting an Australian side at a low ebb, he carried it on his back and steered it to a maiden World Cup triumph in 1987. The nickname A.B. became shorthand for grit. What impresses me isn't just the runs but the sheer refusal to wilt under pressure, the quality that made him Australian of the Year in 1989. Even as someone outside cricket's heartland, I can read the worth of a man who stood firm when retreat would have been easier. That kind of resolve travels across every sport.
