Well, my strongest memory as captain was school cricket last year. We lost the toss, and were put in to bat, got bowled out for 47. I only made 1.

With the ball, however, I stood up, taking 2/2 in a losing cause.

Well my best game as a captain was last year in an Under 16 game...I won the toss and I bowled first not obeying my coach who told to bat first.It was a 25 over game..They scored...145 of 25 overs..Our condition was bad as 3 wickets fell in the first 5 overs at just some 20 runs...Then I went in to bat and played a hammering knock of 62 off 44 balls which boosted up the team's morale and we ended up the game with 145/6 off 22 overs...This was a memorable game..

In my school when I was year 9 we had two year 9 teams, i was captain of the B team.

The game was being played after school and they batted first. I can't remember who won the toss and it was a 25/25 i think.
They were so confident they reversed their batting line up, one guy in their team got a 50 but i can't remember the exact scores but they got a reasonable total.

We went out to bat and I batted somewhere in the top 4. I didn't get that many i think around 10-15 but the light began to fade and we were in trouble. Two of our bigger hitters got together down the order and combined for a good partnership to bring us home.
I still remember the match, we were way underdogs and I don't think we even had a coach.

We ended up having an alright season. I remember another game a few games after that match where me and one of my mates combined for a hundred partnership, he got out for 46 I went on and got my 50.

How you were able to score 58* if the opponent scored 47?

The last game i ever played as captain was in my school days.
We were into the second day of a two day match against one of the top sides in the competition. My team was in the bottom 4.
We needed to get something like 100 runs to win with 3 wickets remaining.
I was in bat with the tail-ender batsmen.
Can't remember all the details, but i was in the zone and batted out the next 30 or so overs and won the game, pretty much single-handed.
Ended up top-scoring with 108*.

my most memorable game as captain was last year,

we were playing against uxbridge (local rivals) in a low-key colts match.

I lost the toss (for the 5th time that season) and we were put in, I made 23 and then got a shocking LBW, even the uxbridge players said it pitched outside of leg.
We went on to score 156/7 from 25 overs, an okay score i thought.
We struck early with the ball, but their middle order managed to get them to 149/6 with 1 over to go. I thought to myself, as captain, i should be bowling the last over to try and win the match, i wasn't in the best run of form, but i was sure i could keep them to less than 8 runs in the final over. I already had figures of 2/14 from 3 overs.
1st Ball: LBW shout turned down by the same umpire that gave me out LBW
2nd Ball: Bowled Him!! My third wicket
3rd Ball: 4 runs, poor bowling from myself

By this time, the small crowd had grown to around a crowd of 70, many of them were at the club to play darts, but where watching anyhow.

4th Ball: 1 run, now i was getting nervous, i just knew i had to give it some flight and pitch it up.
5th Ball: Hit in the air, maybe to the boundary, no, there is a man down there. seconds feel like hours but... He Held On to it.
Last Ball: 3 to win, i bowl, they hit, they run, it's fielded, they go back for the second to draw, the throw comes in, and a direct hit at the keepers end runs their batsman out,

WE WON by 1 run on the last ball,

My Proudest moment

closely followed by a game against Hampton for my school.

Had it not drizzled and their upper-class rich-boys decided that they might get wet so they should abandon the match, we would've won.

My most annoying moment in my school career
