England pacer, James Anderson, making startling revelations in his autobiography, has stated that he never took much-praised 2005 Ashes-winning captain Michael Vaughan as a great leader because of the former skipper’s inability to communicate with his teammates.
“Our relationship was good on and off the field. The same could be said of my relationship with Michael Vaughan, captain during my early England years, since his retirement. Unfortunately, despite our cordiality now, I didn't enjoy Vaughan as a captain,” wrote Anderson in an excerpt from the autobiography published in the Mail.
Revealing his tough time under Vaughan, the 30-year-old, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Lancashire-c806 born wrote, “As a young fast bowler, you need to know that your captain has his arm around your shoulder, if not physically, then metaphorically. Unfortunately, that is not something I ever felt playing under Vaughan. I actually felt alone and isolated when I most needed support.”
These revelations have come at a time when English cricket is passing through a controversial period in its history with the lingering issue of all-rounder http://www.senore.com/Cricket/AJ-Strauss-c964, calling it a day last month.
England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) cannot afford another issue between Anderson and Vaughan, as the former skipper is held in great esteem in cricketing circles while Anderson is without a doubt among the top fast bowlers in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 cricket.
Vaughan took over from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Nasir-Hussain-c78749 with England cricket on the rise and then left the team in the good hands of Strauss.
Meanwhile, now with the Test side under the leadership of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 later this year, where they will be aiming to redeem their shattered pride against a very belligerent Indian outfit.
ECB is also expected to take a final decision on the future of KP, who is out of favour with the selectors ever since expressing uncertainty regarding his future as England player, and then angered ECB by sending provocative texts to South African players, criticising the English board and Strauss.
