Who is the better Ashes winning captain: Michael Vaughan or Calre Connor?

Question

Michael Vaughan led England to Ashes glory in 2005, Australia having wrested the urn from them in 1989. Clare Connor also led England to victory over Australia in 2005, having not held the Ashes for 42 years.

So which is the greater achievment?

Answer 1

Vaughan winning the Ashes in 2005 was better than Connor.

Vaughan had to play 5 test series and women play 2-3 tests.

More over women's cricket is not publicized as men's game

and hence it is more dominant.

Answer 2

Michael Vaughan

Answer 3

Michael Vaughan for surre (=

Answer 4

well cant comment on Connor's captaincy as i didnt see any of the games, however it is a great achivement for her and hopefully it will inspire aus to come back harder next time (remember what happened to australias men when they were beaten 3-0 in the ODIs before the world cup, retained undefeated! as well, what about after the men lost the ashes in 2005, 5-0 in return!)

but vaughans captaincy in 2005 was incredibly good and was probably a bigger achivment as of all the presure that the team was under to perform and to stop being the butt of so many of us aussies jokes that we had been cracking for years!

Answer 5

While I think Clare Connor did an amazing job in winning the Ashes for the women's team and it undeniably helped the women's game become more prominent in the public sphere I'm still going to say Michael Vaughn captaining the men's team to victory was the greater achievement.

I think the men's Ashes series was (and still is) much fairer the the women's one. During 2005 the men's team played 5 tests and the women played 2 (this year they played 1). A longer series is much more indicative of not only how the teams are performing but it's a good way to judge which is the better team. How can you tell which is the best team with a 1 or 2 match series? in my opinion you can't.

So Michael Vaughn is the better winning captain but that's not to take anything away from the women, because they still managed a fantastic achievement.

Answer 6

none Go AUSSIES!!!

Answer 7

Michael Vaughan of course

Connor won a 2 test match series, whilst Vaughan won a 5 test match series. Plus the pressure of course, The Ashes 2005 was the biggest Ashes series ever whilst the Womens Ashes series was hardly publicised. Well done to both of them, they both will go down as great England captains

Answer 8

Great question. I think Michael Vaughan is better Ashes winning captain. What a show the English put on in the 2005 Ashes series. According to me it is one one best test series i have ever seen.

Answer 9

Michael Vaughan Is the besttttttttttttttttt.
