As part of this blog I thought it would be good to see if the England team really do have a chance against the Aussies by pitting them man for man against their counterparts. The first one has to be The Captains: Michael Vaughan and Ricky Ponting.
My view would be that these guys are extremely evenly matched. They both weigh in regularly with runs at 3 or 4 and have great cricketing brains. I think they have been around for the same amount of time and have been captains for a similar period too. On paper their records are similar and they must be both very confident. Vaughan has been able to show an agressive style on England's winning run and has not been found wanting in his decision making on the field. Although Ponting is no Steve Waugh he has certainly been around the block and will have learnt a lot from the players around him.
I would have to call this one a tie.
