Ashes-winning England captain turned broadcaster and columnist
CricketMichael Vaughan lifted the urn in 2005 and changed the tone of English cricket in the process.
A Yorkshire right-hander with silky timing, Vaughan scored 5,719 Test runs at an average of 41, including an extraordinary run of form in Australia in 2002/03 when he plundered three centuries against the world's fiercest attack. He took the England captaincy in 2003 and led the side in 51 Tests, more than any Englishman before him, winning 26 of them.
His defining moment was the summer of 2005, when a cool, methodical Vaughan led England to their first Ashes win in 18 years. The series remains a cultural touchstone for a generation of English fans. Injury robbed him of a proper follow-up in Australia the following winter, and persistent knee trouble ended his playing career in 2009.
Since retirement he has become one of the most familiar voices in the game, a fixture on BBC Test Match Special, Fox Cricket in Australia, and through a busy schedule of podcasts, columns and social media commentary. He is known for strong opinions, a dry Yorkshire wit, and a willingness to wade into any cricketing debate going.
On stage at Steam he offers the full tour: the 2005 summer, the dressing room characters, the captaincy calls, and an unfiltered read on the modern game.
