Vaughan Brown is considered to be one of the cricketers of note of the last era, and this makes the fact that he retired early all the more sad for New Zealand cricketing history, and indeed for the entire world, as worthwhile competition is quite rare. In any case, this well known New Zealand Cricketer was a left-handed batsman and bowled right arm off-break, both of which he totally excelled at.
