Michael Vaughan Bio | Wiki
Michael Vaughan is a popular English cricket commentator and retired cricketer who played all forms of the game. He worked as England captain for the test team from 2003 until 2008, the one-day international team from 2003–2007, and became the first Twenty20 England captain from 2005–2007. Michael represented Yorkshire in the domestic arena.
He was a right-handed opening batter, who forged a successful England partnership with Marcus Trescothick, though he often batted in the middle order for England. Michael became ranked one of the best batters in the world after the 2002/03 Ashes, in which he scored 633 runs, including three centuries. He captained England in 51 Tests, winning 26 (a national record) and losing 11; England won all seven home Tests of the 2004 summer under Michael, and the pinnacle of his captaincy career came with a 2–1 victory in the 2005 Ashes, England’s first Ashes victory in 18 years (since 1986/87).
However, a recurring knee injury, Michael’s decision to move down the batting order to accommodate other opening batsmen (Andrew Strauss and Alastair Cook) and the pressures of captaincy took their toll on his batting during the latter part of his career: in Tests, he averaged 50.95 when not captain, and 36.02 as captain. He announced his retirement from first-class cricket on 30 June 2009.
