Vaughan declared because he knew that Aus would have to break the record run chase to win the game. He had to balance getting enough runs on the board with leaving enough time to bowl Aus out but not giving them so much time they could just pick off 1 or 2 an over and play defensively to win. It's a delicate decision to make.
I'd be happy to bore you senseless for hours explaining the intricacies of the game. But I'm sure there's a few on here who think I don't have a clue what I'm talking about ...
