Q: Study the basic rules and regulations, as well as more advanced plays and theories, until you know them like the back of your hand. Whereas the duties of guiding the team fall to the coaching staff in most other sports, the captain of a cricket team is largely responsible for calling the shots. For this reason, it's imperative that you have a good grasp of the intricacies of the sport. Chances are that you're already quite familiar with the sport if you're in the running for team captain (or hope to be soon). However, there's always more to learn. Become a devoted student of the gameattend regional events, watch televised matches, and read books on gameplay and psychology. Everything you take in will become a part of your tool set. There are a thousand things that can go wrong during a game of cricket. As a leader and example to your fellow players, it's your job to prepare as best you can for the sorts of challenges and setbacks you can predict, and to learn to overcome the ones you can't. If you crack when the stakes are high, your teammates may lose motivation and feel like they've been hung out to dry. Don't become panicked or frustrated when the opposing team has a sizable lead. Just concentrate on the next play, then the next, then the next, one at a time. Fixating on too many things at once will only leave your energy and attention divided. Mental strength is perhaps the single most important attribute that a cricket captain can possess. After all, no amount of talent will lead you to victory if you're already defeated in your own mind. Watch your fellow players closely and make a note of where they play their best game. Not only is this essential for establishing the batting order, it will also allow you to implement winning tactics on the fly. For example, if your best bowler has a tendency to choke under pressure, knowing when to swap them out could mean the difference between a win and a loss. It's also helpful to recognize when another player may have a better grasp of strategy than you do. If you're not very good at putting together a backup plan when a play goes awry but one of your teammates is, asking them for their advice will be in everyone's best interest. One common mistake that skippers make is thinking that they have to manage everything themselves. It's much wiser to treat each aspect of the game as a collaborative effort, including captaincy. As team captain, much of the responsibility for the successes and failures of the team rests on your shoulders. This means that you must be willing to accept the outcome of the direction you provide, for better or for worse. You'll have good games and bad games. Try to take them both in stride with a sense of humility. Learn to trust your gut when it comes to making calls that you're uncertain about. It will rarely lead you astray. Resist the urge to blame your teammates when things don't work out the way you'd hoped. This will only make you look petty and self-centered, which is not how a good leader should be.
A: Develop a thorough understanding of the game. Keep a cool head in stressful situations. Know your teammates' unique strengths and skills. Be prepared to stand by, and live with, your decisions.

Q: A hangi for 25 people will require enough volcanic stones to fill a 1 m (3.3 ft) in diameter hole, around 0.5 m (1.6 ft) deep. Non-volcanic stones will crack and explode when heated, which can be dangerous. Use a search engine to find where you can collect volcanic rocks in your area. Wood for a hangi must be untreated, and you will need 45 pieces that are 1 m (3.3 ft) long and 5-8 cm (2-3 in) wide. A slow burning wood such as manuka or macrocarpa works well. A hangi will only be successful if the wood used takes a long time to burn, which is why hardwoods are necessary. Food baskets for hangi are usually wire trays with sides, but they can be made out of a variety of different materials. Baskets that are made from small chicken mesh, or welded perforated steel containers are common. The number of baskets that you will need will depend on how many people you are feeding. Three baskets will be enough for 25 people. Typically the food is divided into the three baskets, one of red meat, the next poultry, and the last for vegetables. 200-300mm (7.9-11.8 in) deeper and 200mm (7.9 in) wider and longer than the baskets works well. The hole will need to be slightly larger than the food baskets when they are stacked, so that there is enough room for sacks to be placed on the sides which will protect the food from the embers and dirt. A hole that's too deep or big will make it difficult to retrieve the food safely when it's ready. Overall the hole will be big enough to hold the food baskets, sacks, and stones. There is no particular order to stack the wood and stones, and all that matters is that there is enough room beneath the stack to start a fire, and that the stones are evenly distributed throughout the stack. The fire stack should be located next to the pit, so that you can easily transfer the hot stones. If you stack the wood and stones the day before you plan to have the hangi, make sure that you cover the stack with a tarpaulin overnight to prevent it getting wet. Light a match and set alight 3-4 corners of the fire stack. If the wood doesn't show flames immediately, blow gently on the smouldering area to help it along. The fire will spread throughout the stack of wood and stones.
A: Gather volcanic stones for the hangi. Collect pieces of hardwood for the hangi. Get 3 food baskets. Dig the hole slightly bigger that the stacked food baskets. Pile the wood and volcanic stones on the ground to make a fire stack. Light the wood in the fire stack in 3-4 places.

Q: Your face is generally the first thing people notice. A fading facial tan will be immediately noticeable, so use self-tanner to fix up any fading. Purchase a self-tanner designed for your face and apply it regularly to keep your tan noticeable. Go for gradual tanners, as these tend to look more natural. A little bronzer on your face can also help your tan last longer. Apply the bronzer on areas where the sun naturally hits your face, such as the forehead, temples, nose, and cheekbones. This will highlight your natural tan, preventing the product from looking fake. Apply enough bronzer to give your skin a natural glow. Too much bronzer can be overwhelming and make your tan look fake. You want to recreate your natural tan rather than replace it altogether. Unless you have access to the sun all the time, your tan will eventually start to fade. As your tan fades, patch it up with spray-on tan. If your tan starts to lighten or darken, spray some fake tan on patchy areas to even things out. Over-the-counter pills that are designed to protect skin, such as Phytobronz Skin Protect, may help you maintain a tan. Such pills help replenish oils in your skin that are lost during the tanning process. If you're concerned about maintaining your tan, try taking some medication. However, some over-the-counter pills are not FDA regulated. Always check with your doctor before taking any new medications.
A:
Use self-tanner on your face. Wear bronzer. Patch up your tan with spray-on tan. Use pills.
