- Had a mixed reign as skipper, with series wins over India and Sri Lanka balanced out by defeats to New Zealand.
- Resigned the one-day captaincy when Vaughan stood down as Test skipper, paving the way for Kevin Pietersen to take both jobs.
- Had another stint as captain after Andrew Strauss was not selected for England's World Twenty20 squad, but did not appear to enjoy the responsibility and was happy to return to the ranks for the Ashes.
- Played a crucial rearguard to help England draw the first Ashes Test in Cardiff, but his form slowly deserted him as the series went on.
- Repeated rearguard heroics in South Africa to help England to a 1-1 series draw.
