Instead of heading up a leadership team, Gawn will be supported by just vice-captain Viney in the streamlined group, refined to reflect where the list was at.
So he's got a "captain to look after the vice" as my old cricket vice captain used to refer to himself.
They have gone real old school.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.
