Classy batsman, great/lucky captain, nice chap, eccentric artist - for England perhaps, but his performances for Yorkshire throughout his career have been, overall, frankly mediocre - 36 average does not justify all of the eulogies we will no doubt have to suffer over the next few days. Vaughan should be bracketed with Willis and Gower et al - the county championship was a mere inconvenience on the way to the international game.
Yorkshire have bent over backwards to assist his optimistic dreams of an England recall, but to our own detriment - Rudolph opening has been a disaster - so we've been carrying two lame ducks for most of the season.
I'd like to thank Vaughan for all the pleasure he has brought to so many people, and thank him even more for quitting at the right time (I wouldn't mind if he signed for Lancashire for the next couple of seasons). Hopefully Yorkshire will have the sense to use his undoubted talents in a coaching capacity. |
