Let us tell you that when Hayden was out in a match during the Ashes series, Vaughan was praised for his captaincy, but Hayden was out for some other reason. Vaughan recently revealed this interesting incident in the Club Prairie Fire Podcast. In this podcast, Vaughan said about Hayden’s dismissal during that match – Hey Hados (Matthew Hayden), I should really apologize to you. The other day at Edgbaston, you came out to bat and I was given credit for the tactical genius of replacing Andrew Strauss and getting caught at short extra cover off Matthew Hoggard on the first ball of the morning . Vaughan further said- You don’t realize this, Strauss (Andrew Strauss) was talking nonsense. He came to the pitch late, and instead of running towards the slip, I just asked him to wait at extra cover, as he was out of the field to use the washroom at that time, and there was someone else in the slip in his place. .
