What does Vaughan know anyway? He only scored runs against players who are bad

Hmmm... Vaughan's most successful series was the 03 Ashes in Australia against the invincible Aussies with their legendary bowling attack including Warne and McGrath... Yeah, they were crap weren't they!?

Vaughan had one good series...

Aside from the 2002/03 Ashes the only other time he scored 500+ runs in a series was against a pop gun Indian attack in 2002(English summer)

Vaughan was not as good as people say he looked good in a very average England side, an average of 41 is okay by today's standards not outstanding. Hes now just become a rent a gob who says ridiculous things to stay in the public eye and relevant.

He got a group of players playing as a team, integrating new players and head strong ones and getting the best out of them individually and as a group.

Something flower can learn from :(

He was a drop catch away from loosing the ashes. KP was in his first series so the ego was only just starting. Flintoff was in his prime as a bowler. Batters scored runs. Would not say he captained the side either good or bad. Did ok and was lucky with that drop catch and also other luck throughout that series.

Few sides do well without the rub of the green to be honest.

Absolutely true.  Sides can do well without 'ball tampering' which was since confessed by members of the 05 england team.  Wasnt their only method of cheating in that series either...... icc should have investigated englands conduct in that series....

Hmmm. Watch out what you wish for. I suspect the ICC should probably have investigated most series of the last 30 years based on what was said about that one...

Would not say he captained the side either good or bad. Did ok and was lucky with that drop catch and also other luck throughout that series.

Can agree with much of that Kieron, however, much like the London Olympics, many English players peaked for this particular series.

Flintoff had his greatest series...he was incredible in a way that we rarely saw before and never saw again afterwards.

Simon Jones was simply brilliant. Whatever the confessions of the mints making the ball reverse, Jones mastered it in the deadliest manner that has never been seen before or since. Incredible.

Strauss made two key centuries.

Harmison and Hoggard were both just past their best, but still contributed at key moments.

Trescothick was barnstorming in this series as he would rip into the new ball with relish. Genuinely sad that this fine player never scored an Ashes ton. Deserved one.

Pieterson arrived in style.

Vaughan made a great 166 in the middle of the series that ultimately prevented an Aussie victory.

The series was on a knife edge at all times and provided great entertainment.

Vaughan won more tests as England captain than anyone else and got the best out of a good number of his players.  Yes, his batting suffered for it, but he remains one of the most elegant of a recent generation and his calendar year of 2002 was simply superb.

His captaincy stats alone probably give him the right to say what he likes - I personally feel he needs to reel his neck in at times but opinions sell newspapers.  He understandably wants to carve a career in the media and being slightly outspoken has made many a livelihood for ex-cricketers.  I prefer the more measured approach, a la Atherton, Agnew, but each to their own.

Amongst the impetuous comments there are some excellent columns where his opinions on managing players and getting the best out of them are great insights into successful team dynamics and winning matches.  He's young to the trade (of writing and commentating) so I'm prepared to give him some slack while he finds his most-suited style.  certainly I feel he has a lot of knowledge that maybe Cook should be tapping into...
