In the Weekend Australian, Mike Coward notes that it is the 25th anniversary of Kim Hughes' tearful resignation as Australia's captain.
It is terribly cruel that Hughes is remembered as much for crying as for his exhilarating batting. On song he had few peers. This scribe has always wondered why one wouldn't cry if circumstances compelled the surrendering of the most significant office in Australian sport. It seemed then and seems now a very human response.
