 | | It was the culmination of a five-year journey for Vaughan, whose captaincy - calm, obdurate and ruthlessly effective - had become as classy and composed as the batting technique that, briefly, carried him to the top of the world rankings. |
 | | With a priceless ability to treat triumph and disaster just the same, Vaughan faced up to his first ball in Test cricket with England four wickets down for two runs on a damp flyer at Johannesburg in 1999-2000, and drew immediate comparisons with Michael Atherton for his inhumanly calm aura at the crease. |
 | | Vaughan was duly recalled, as captain, for the one-day series and retained for the World Cup in spite of a debiliating hamstring strain that reduced him to just three appearances out of ten in a victorious CB Series campaign. |
