What are Michael Vaughan’s views on captaincy?
Today I have been reading Michael Vaughan's book 'Calling the Shots' about his time as England captain and something he wrote struck me.
Although he doesn't go into a lot of detail about the nuts and bolts of captaincy, he does give an insight on what it's like to be a captain, which is very like the post I did on club captaincy.
"You have to be really forward thinking and have your eye five or even ten overs ahead of the game, making sure you have the right fields to different batsmen, working out how you are going to remove them and how you're going to dry up the runs."Sometimes you get on a wicket where the best laid plans are rendered useless, so you have to come up with Plan B very quickly...It certainly taxed my brain."
So even if you don't believe me, you can just ask Vaughany. You can't get a better example than that can you?
