One out of One 1/1 for Kevin Peterson

KP has finally lived up to his expectation and has succeeded in his first ever test match as Captain of the English team. He has led them to win in the end comprehensively against the South Africans after the shocking announcement from Micheal Vaughan to step down as England Captain.

So was there any difference between him and Vaughan or was it just pure luck? Lets see, KP first brought back Harmison and to his luck he paid off, and as they say; luck favors the brave.

Vaughan might have been a good captain and there is no doubt he was the best batsman before taking charge back in 2001 but his formed dipped as a batsman during his tenure. For KP, he has continued his form in as captain and did score the century in his first innings as Captain. This is called leading from the front. All said and done, it is way too early to say any thing that I have done already. Only time will tell about if he able to continue his magic with both bat and his brain to lead England to the heights that it deserves.
