Michael Vaughn in the Test team of the year

[MightyEagles]

Well done to Tait.

[brod]

Vaughan averaged 54.6 for the year in 6 matches (1-100s, 2-50s)
Did anyone do better as an opener??

[The sarge]

Michael vaughan didnt open. Cook and Strauss have been opening the batting. He did play half of those tests against the West Indies too. I thought Chanderpauls effort in england would have been worth a spot in the team before Vaughan.
