We bottomed out in 99 when we lost to NZ at the Oval
and the crowd booed the presentations. I was there!
But it was Nasser actually who began the revival - remember how we absolutely stuffed the West Indies in 2000? He turned things round with Fletcher - had a no-nonsenseprofessional style that licked the squad in to shape and vaughan took it on from there.
The summer of four/five captains was Gatting, Embury, Cowdrey, Gooch - with someone else who stood in for a day while one of them was injured (hence five).
