He treated us like schoolkids says former England skipper
Peter Moores' management style caused deep irritation in the England dressing room according to former skipper Michael Vaughan.
Vaughan, who resigned last year after struggling with form and fitness, accused the coach of treating his players like children.
The Yorkshireman's bitterness at his old boss came to light after extracts from his autobiography 'Time to Declare' were published in the
Times on Saturday.
Vaughan, who led England to their famous 2005 Ashes victory under the stewardship of Duncan Fletcher, said he found it increasingly difficult to relate to Moores.
In a diary entry made during England's successful Test tour of New Zealand in March 2008 he attacked the current Lancashire coach's overbearing style.
Control
"The team is starting to get irritated by the new management regime - being told what to do and treated like schoolkids," he wrote.
"Peter [Moores] loves talking and having the last word."
In the book Vaughan suggested that Moores, who was eventually sacked after clashing with his replacement Kevin Pietersen, was a control freak who interfered in areas he should not have.
"I still think that the England captain should have ultimate control," explains Vaughan. "But Peter wanted to be in charge from the sidelines.
"What I found is that he wanted to do everyone's jobs for them ... Duncan would never do that; he would trust me to get on with it."
