Monty Bowden at 23 years and 144 days remains England's youngest Test skipper. Bowden might seem to have had the cricketing and wider worlds at his feet - but within three years he was dead, officially of epilepsy, although a fall from a cart up-country contributed. Shortly afterwards he traveled north to what is now Zimbabwe with Cecil Rhodes Pioneer column, and settled there, before dying in Umtali Hospital - a glorified mud hut where his body had to be protected from marauding lions prior to being interred in a coffin made from whiskey cases. http://www.cricketarchive.com/Archive/Articles/0/220.html Mar 06 04, 6:20 AM
