Former England captain, now commentator Michael Vaughn gives Dean du Plessis wonderful insight as he talks about long term leadership off the field, and captaincy on the field. Vaughn believes that as a captain, one should manage the person and not the player. He also admits that batting first in all the tests in unusually dry English conditions played a part in England’s 2-1 series win in the Ashes of 2005. He and coach Duncan Fletcher had a two and a half year plan leading up to the momentous Ashes 2005 win.
