Yorkshire have a well earned reputation as not only one of the fiercest competitors on the county cricket circuit but also as one of the foremost contributors to the England team.

Although many of its favourite sons, including Darren Gough and Fred Trueman, are pace bowlers the county's association with world class openers is equally as strong.

The names Sutcliffe, Hutton and Boycott are etched permanently into the psyche of any student of the game and now our generation has a man to call their own, a man whose talents if used well could match or even better the names above.

Step up Michael Vaughan.

Vaughan has been somewhat of a revelation in recent years, after coming into the England side in 1999 with a good reputation but a modest average at first class level his place was uncertain and he frequently batted out of position in the middle order.

Despite this, and an unlucky knack for injury he retained his spot in the national set-up and was rewarded with a coveted central contract in 2000.

A well timed 64 not out to help overturn a strong South African side in the Centurion Test gained Vaughan many fans and it soon became apparent that when Michael Atherton, the linchpin of the side for at least a decade, retired, it would be the Yorkshireman who would inherit his mantle.

Numerous other openers had been tried for this role but how many would have responded in the way Vaughan has?

In 2002 alone he was fleetingly the top run scorer in Test cricket (before being overtaken by Sachin Tendulkar), he scored four centuries in an inspired summer against Sri Lanka and India, improved his average from the early 30s to the truly world class 47.50 and is being touted as the next England captain.

The future could hold anything for this gifted player who after only 23 Test matches has already proved himself to be a player whose coolness and concentration are as keenly trained as his eye.
