Like Father, Like Son As Michael Vaughan's Heir Apparent Makes A Name For Himself In South Africa

Theres a new kid on the block in England cricket , and he is following closely in his fathers footsteps as he makes a name for himself in South Africa.

Former England captain Michael Vaughan has watched his son Archie rise through the ranks, as the youngster is the skipper of the England Under-19 side.

England are currently taking on hosts South Africa in an Under-19s series in Cape Town.

The older Vaughan made his Test debut against South Africa back in November 1999 at the Wanderers. That day is etched deeply into the history of South African cricket, as the tourists were reduced to 2/4 on a frenetic opening morning of the first Test in Johannesburg.

Fearsome attack

That day saw a rampant Proteas attack, led by Allan Donald and Shaun Pollock at the peak of their powers, rip through the England batting lineup who were ultimately dismissed for 122.
