Early and personal life

Michael Vaughan was born 29 October 1974 in Eccles, Salford, the younger son of Dee and Graham Vaughan. The family moved to Sheffield, South Yorkshire when he was nine. His father, an engineer, had captained the Worsley third XI, and Vaughan says "My first memory of cricket is when I was 10 years old, hitting balls on the boundary while my dad was playing for Worsley in the Manchester Association League."^[2] However, it was his brother David (currently working as an estate agent), older by two years, who got him into the game. He attended Silverdale School, and was enthusiastic about football, later reflecting, "I'd have probably preferred to be a footballer if I could have been good enough. But my knees would never have lasted."^[3] He started playing cricket for the school side and it was here he first caught the eye of Doug Padgett, the Yorkshire coach. He also began his love of Sheffield Wednesday Football Club.^[4] is the 302nd day of the year (303rd in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ... 1974 (MCMLXXIV) was a common year starting on Tuesday. ...

Domestic career

Vaughan, now living in Baslow (Derbyshire), turned up as a child to watch Yorkshire playing at Sheffield. During the tea interval, he was playing on the outfield with his friends when then Yorkshire head coach Doug Padgett spotted his natural ability from the balcony of the pavillion. He put down his cup of tea and went to get the boy's name and phone number. Unfortunately, Vaughan was born in Manchester, and at the time Yorkshire had a strict policy of only picking players that were born in Yorkshire. Years later, when the rule was relaxed, Doug Padgett re-investigated the young player, and got him to come to the academy. After watching him bat for 10 minutes, Padgett remarked, "Sign him."

International career

A stylish batsman and occasional off spinner, Vaughan began playing professional cricket aged 17, and captained the England Under-19 cricket team on tour against Sri Lanka in 1993/4 and at home against India in 1994. He played his first Test match for England in South Africa in November 1999, with England in the parlous state of four wickets down for two runs. He soon demonstrated his maturity and flair as a batsman, particularly his trade-mark cover drive.

In May 2001 he scored his first Test Century against Pakistan at Old Trafford. In December 2001, in Bangalore, Vaughan became the second Englishman, after Graham Gooch, and the 8th and most recent player in Test match history, to be given out handled the ball in Tests.

In 2002, Vaughan scored 900 runs in seven Tests against Sri Lanka and India. This included 115 against Sri Lanka at Lord's during the first Test. During the series against India he scored a duck and 100 against India during the first Test at Lord's, and his highest innings score to date of 197 against India during the second Test at Nottingham and two Tests later during the fourth Test he scored 195 against India, again falling just short of a double-century. Later that year the English cricket team travelled to Australia for the 2002-03 Ashes series. It was here that Vaughan was to prove that he could perform against the best team in the world. He started poorly in the first Test at Brisbane with 33 and 0. But in the second Test at Adelaide he made a superb 177 and 41. During the fourth Test at Melbourne he made an aggressive 145 despite playing in a struggling England side. In the fifth and final Test at Sydney, Vaughan scored a spectacular match-winning 183 before being given out wrongfully lbw to Andy Bichel, as replays showed that not only was the ball missing leg stump but it was going over the stumps by a fair margin. He became the first visiting batsman for 32 years to score over 600 runs in a Test match series in Australia and the first Englishman to make 3 Test hundreds in a series against Australia since Chris Broad. In total, he scored 1,481 Test runs in 2002, the sixth highest for a calendar year in Test history (trailing the likes of Mohammad Yousuf's 1788 in 2006, Viv Richards's 1,710 in 1976 and Ricky Ponting's 1,544 in 2005). During this magnificent run of form, Vaughan rose to the number 1 batsman in the world, the first Englishman to achieve this since Graham Gooch.

Vaughan followed with a 156 against South Africa at Edgbaston in 2003. He was appointed Test captain in the next match, after Nasser Hussain stepped down. Vaughan's form has declined since; despite this, in July 2004, in the first Test against the West Indies, Vaughan became the eighth England player to score a century in each innings of a Test match. Learie Constantine, was one of the first great West Indian players. ...

During the 2005 Ashes series against Australia Vaughan's poor run form was attracting increasing criticism, despite his excellent captaincy. But during the third Test at Old Trafford he answered the critics, albeit with a bit of luck during a Glenn McGrath over. In the second ball of the over, when Vaughan was on 41, he cut hard at a wide delivery from McGrath and Gilchrist allowed it to slip through his gloves and run away for four runs. The very next ball McGrath clean bowled Vaughan with a superb off cutter, but this was in vain as the umpire called a no-ball for overstepping the line. Vaughan went onto strike a superb 166, punishing in particular the poor bowling of Jason Gillespie. Vaughan was eventually caught by Glenn McGrath off a full-toss delivery from Simon Katich. However, Vaughan passed 50 just once in the rest of the series, and made a solitary fifty in the two Tests in Pakistan in November 2005, after missing the first one through injury.

England captaincy

On May 6, 2003, Vaughan was appointed captain of the England One-day International team, Nasser Hussain choosing to step down after the 2003 World Cup.^[5] In July, he also took over from Hussain the captaincy of the Test side.^[6] is the 126th day of the year (127th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ... 2003 (MMIII) was a common year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

He suddenly became captain of the England Test team on 28th July 2003, after scoring a magnificent 156 in the first Test against South Africa, when Nasser Hussain resigned after England had narrowly clung on for a draw. The England team promptly lost his first Test in charge by an innings and 215 runs, but went on to level the series 2-2. Nasser Hussain (born March 28, 1968, Madras (now Chennai, India) is a former Essex and England cricketer. ...

Vaughan's batting initially suffered under the increased pressures of captaincy, although expectations may also have been too high after his spectacular run of form in 2002: in his first twelve matches as captain, his batting average was only 30.31. However, under Vaughan's captaincy, the England side have become one of the most successful sides in world cricket. He benefited from the revolution begun by coach Duncan Fletcher and former captain Nasser Hussain, such as the awarding of central contracts to the core England players, and continued to forge a winning team.

In 2003, after the drawn series against South Africa, England toured South Asia, beating Bangladesh but losing to Sri Lanka. But in 2004, England were unbeaten, winning eleven matches and drawing two, including an England record of eight consecutive victories. They beat the West Indies away for the first time since 1968.

Ashes 2005

Hopes were high for the Ashes after the success of the previous eighteen months, but expectations were moderated by the knowledge that Australia had been the best team in the world for many years. Australian captain Ricky Ponting called for a catching pact, where batsmen would accept the word of fielders as to whether they were caught, but this was rejected by Vaughan who preferred to leave it to the umpires.^[7] The build-up was long and intense, with press speculation over the ability of many players, leading Vaughan to say: "Both sets of players are sick and tired of talking about the Ashes. We've got a young group of players who are excited by the challenge, and it's a challenge we are all looking forward to."^[8] Ricky Thomas Ponting (born December 19, 1974, in Launceston, Tasmania) is an Australian cricketer and current captain of the Australia national cricket team (for both One-Day International and Test cricket). ...

In the first Test, at Lord's, England were easily beaten; Vaughan performed very poorly scoring only 3 and 4.^[9] Analysis of Vaughan's batting showed that over the last 30 months he had averaged only 37.77, and lacked consistency with a poor defensive technique.^[10] Despite his lack of form, he turned down the opportunity of playing county cricket for Yorkshire against Derbyshire, preferring to work in the nets with Duncan Fletcher.^[11] He returned, however, for their match against Kent, making 116 not out, and taking 2/42.^[12] He captained England to a narrow two-run victory in the second Test to level the series, but again scored poorly with only 24 and 1.^[13] The Pavilion The Grand Stand Match in progress The Media Centre at Lords Cricket Ground This memorial stone to Lord Harris is in the Harris Garden at Lords Lords Cricket Ground is a cricket ground in St Johns Wood in London, at grid reference TQ268827. ...

Vaughan finally found some form in the third Test to score 166 runs, the highest innings score in the series.^[14] However, his opposing captain, Ponting, was equal to the task and made 156 as Australia clung on for the draw.^[15] Vaughan made a half-century in the first innings of the fourth Test, but was out for a duck in the second, as England struggled in reaching their target of 129.^[16] In the fifth Test, he scored 11 and 45, as it ended in a draw, allowing England to claim The Ashes for the first time since Mike Gatting's side in the 1986–87 series in Australia.^[17] The Ashes is a Test cricket series, played between England and Australia - it is international crickets most celebrated rivalry and dates back to 1882. ...

Injury troubles

A knee injury ruled Vaughan out of the first Test of England's tour of Pakistan in late 2005.^[21] He played in the next two, scoring a half-century in the third,^[22] as England lost the series 2–0.

Vaughan missed almost the entire 2006 season due to injuries related to his knee; he was unable to play Test series against India and Sri Lanka. Although initially hopeful of a return,^[23] he was also unfit to play in the 2006/07 Ashes series in Australia, which England lost 5–0. On January 9, 2007, Vaughan made his first international appearance in over a year, captaining England to defeat in a Twenty20 match against Australia, although scoring 27 off 21 balls and looking in good touch.^[24] He captained England for the first two ODIs of 2006–07 Commonwealth Bank Series, a defeat to Australia and a victory over New Zealand, before a torn hamstring forced him to miss the next five games.^[25]^[26]^[27] He returned on February 6, 2007, leading England into the finals with a 14-run victory over New Zealand, although Vaughan was out for a golden duck.^[28] Two days later, he was forced to miss the best-of-three finals and return to England, after aggravating the same hamstring injury.^[29] January 9 is the 9th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar. ...

World Cup 2007

Despite injury concerns, on 14 February 2007, Vaughan was selected in the final 15 for the 2007 Cricket World Cup in the Caribbean, and confirmed as captain.^[31]^[32] He captained the team through Group C with victories over Canada and Kenya and a defeat to New Zealand, scoring 45,^[33] 1^[34] and 26.^[35] During the Super Eight stage of the tournament, Vaughan produced a series of poor innings as England continued to underperform; they were knocked out with one match remaining having never looked convincing. After their penultimate match, in which they were soundly beaten by South Africa, Vaughan said "It's a very sad day for English cricket. It's a horrible feeling to walk off and be booed by a lot of English supporters, and rightfully so from the performance we put in. I fully expected us to turn up and produce something, but we didn't and we have to accept all the criticism that comes our way."^[36] In The Guardian, Mike Selvey said Vaughan's "selection without proof of form or fitness was a gamble and it has failed."^[37] Former England cricketer Bob Willis called for Vaughan to be axed as captain.^[38] is the 45th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Vaughan's only widely credited performance came in England's final game against the West Indies; a dead match, as neither team could qualify. Vaughan was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 3/39 from 10 overs, and scored a quick-fire 79 off 68 as England achieved a narrow victory with just one wicket and one ball remaining.^[39]

2007 Season

After being released for county action on his return,^[40] Vaughan found form with 72 for Yorkshire against Hampshire at the Rose Bowl. However, in the second innings of that match he was again injured; this time with a broken finger, received as he tried to evade a Stuart Clark delivery.^[41] This ruled him out of the first test against the West Indies on May 17.^[42] He recovered for the second test, his first for 18 months, and scored 103 in an emphatic victory of an innings and 283 runs;^[43] in The Guardian, Selvey described the innings as a "masterpiece", and said "Vaughan came as close to perfection as ever he can have done."^[44] When England defeated the West Indies in the third test at Old Trafford, Vaughan surpassed Peter May as the man who had led England to most Test victories, with 21 wins. Despite this, at the end of the 4th day of the fourth test, it was announced that Vaughan would be standing down as captain of the one-day team with immediate effect.^[45] Image File history File links Current_event_marker. ...

It also describes his fractious relationship with the South African captain Graeme Smith. Vaughan alleged that Smith called him 'queer' and fellow team-mate Andrew Flintoff a 'big baby'. Moreover Smith acted as a witness during the trial of Vaughan's case with match-referee Clive Lloyd, where Vaughan had mildly rebuked the umpires for having called off play in bright conditions the previous day during a test match in Johannesburg, South Africa, which resulted in Vaughan being fined his entire match-fee. Afterwards he started referring to Smith as 'The Witness', and also accused him of playing to the cameras.

Vaughan had earlier written another book 'A Year in the Sun: The Captain's story', in which he describes his phenomenal and fortuitous year of 2002-03, experiencing Bradmanesque-form, plundering seven centuries in 12 Tests, en route to become the world's best Test batsman that year. He also describes his experiences as an England cricketer, bowling out Sachin Tendulkar (one of the finest players in the modern game) and the unforgettable World Cup fiasco in Zimbabwe, which led to England forfeiting important points and eventually any chance they had of winning the World Cup. Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar (Marathi: à¤¸à¤šà¤¿à¤¨ à¤¤à¥‡à¤‚à¤¡à¥à¤²à¤•à¤°; born 24 April 1973) is a current Indian cricketer who was rated by Wisden (2002) as the second greatest Test batsman ever[1] after Sir Don Bradman. ...

Vaughan's appointment as England captain after the 2003 World Cup brought a new fresh spirit and life in the England dressing room, leading to instant success in the one-day arena. As a result, Nasser Hussain resigned as England Test captain - and Vaughan took charge in Tests as well.
