Natural leader, good looks, and sporty? Must be his genetics.

Following a shock DNA test, Dan Athanasellis, Law Cricket Captain 2024, has been discovered to be a direct descendant of Zeus "The Olympian" Athanasellis, famed captain of the Spartan Olympic team at the 260BC Olympics (not to be confused with Zeus, the Olympian God).

Indeed, as the first son of a first son, stretching back to Zeus himself, is it any wonder that Athanasellis is at home facing down his foe, bat in hand? Known to reduce fastbowlers to tears with his electric bat, Athanasellis seems the perfect fit for the captaincy.

Due to his hatred of the Lawbry and attending class in general, tracking the man down for an interview proved challenging. However, the Obiter was finally able to locate Athanasellis at Souvlaki Hut Nundah, near his local cricket nets.

"OPA!"

A plate flew past your correspondents head.

"You get sunburnt on the way in? Finally leave the Lawbry?" He joked, his bronze skin reflecting the fluorescent glow of the ceiling lights.

Inquiring about what drove him to both Law and Cricket, the Obiter received a stunning reply.

"Yeah they actually sort of go together. So on a family holiday back to the mother country, we went to this place called Delphi, yeah? And there was this chick that lived there ages ago that told the future and stuff, and I swear to God I heard this spooky voice tell me: 'you are going to captain Law in the Suri Ratnapala Cup'."

Intrigued, your correspondent pressed for more.

"Yeah, well it turns out Dad was just taking the piss, but the dream has stuck with me since. And the Ancestry reveal was pretty cool, I feel it’s sorta in my blood to compete at this elite level of Cricket."

"Anyway, grab a Lamb Yiros and a bottle of ouzo, let’s have a yarn."

Greatness to come.
