VAUGHAN SHOWING PROMISE

Michael Vaughn
VAUGHAN SHOWING PROMISE as he gets some runs for Yorkshire. The usual critics were asking for Vaughan’s head as England’s one day captain. As the captain he has to shoulder some of the responsibility for the poor performances, but believe it or not he was one of our best performers with the bat!

He got 72 before getting run out in his first innings and was alarmingly retired hurt in the second innings with a damaged finger.

Lets hope cricket’s equivalent to footbll’s Michael Owen (Mr Glass) is fit enough for the up coming tests.

My verdict is that a pack of wild horses couldn’t drag him away from the up coming series with the West Indies on home soil. He was he missing link in the Ashes and I believe his influence both on and off the field will lead us to a series victory over new captain, Ramnaresh Sarwan’s West Indies side.

agree about Vaughan but he is accident prone and seems to have an unlucky streak

still the best captain by a mile!!

is the finger broken? it looked serious on TV

I can confirm that it is broken and is due to be out for 3-4 weeks, which will rule him out of the first test on the 17th. He hasn’t played a test match since 2005 now. Unlucky!

Great! What a loser… who is going to be captain?

I hope its isn’t going to be Freddy Flintoff as that would be disastrous for his re-habilitation. My money is on Andrew Strauss.

He is more than capable and is one of our most experienced campaigners.
