Notes : Wisden Cricketer of the Year 2003
Correct and obdurate, with a priceless ability to
forget the previous delivery, Michael Vaughan faced up to his first
ball in Test cricket with England four wickets down for two runs on
a damp flyer at Johannesburg, and drew immediate comparisons with
Michael Atherton for his inhumanly calm aura at the crease. But,
despite the obvious similarities between the two - from their
Mancunian heritage to their indifference to sledging - Vaughan soon
demonstrated he was more than just a like-for-like replacement. He
flitted on the fringes of the Test team for two years and four
victorious series, but once he had made the place his own, Vaughan
blossomed magnificently, playing with a freedom of expression that
Atherton had never dared to approach. Nirvana duly came in 2002.
Batting like a watertight David Gower, with a cover-drive to die for
and a punishing pull up his sleeve, Vaughan sparkled his way to 900
runs in seven Tests against Sri Lanka and India, the prelude to a
formidable series in Australia in which he became the first visiting
batsman for 32 years to top 600 runs. As befits a man who has learnt
to throw caution to the wind, Vaughan's major weakness, other than a
fear of the nervous 190s, is a Goweresque fondness for the daft
dismissal - such as at Bangalore in December 2001, where he became
only the second Englishman after Graham Gooch to be given out
handled the ball in Tests. Despite the fact that his one-day record
at the time scarcely matched up to his impressive Test figures, he
was appointed captain of England's one-day side in time for the 2003
home season, and inherited the Test captaincy two weeks later when
Nasser Hussain abdicated out of the blue. Vaughan survived a torrid
baptism, including a record-breaking defeat at Lord's, to guide his
team to a 2-2 draw. After a stutter in Sri Lanka, he confirmed the
arrival of a new era by routing West Indies on their home soil, the
first time in three decades an England team had achieved such a
feat. Returning home, he won seven out of seven Tests by
whitewashing first New Zealand (3-0) then West Indies (4-0), and
went on to record a memorable 2-1 series win in South Africa.
