Let's end this - will Vaughan play or not?

[Craig]

Ok let's see if Michael Vaughan will play any part in the Ashes, doespite what the theories go.

 

[NZTailender]

Covered my bases. I like being right...

 

[vic_orthdox]

It depends on the scoreline. If Aus are up when Vaughan is fit, there's a chance he plays. If it's a tie, or England are up, then he won't play.

 

[pasag]

Not going to happen unfortunately.

 

[Matteh]

I think he'll be around in the background giving advice and stuff, but i can't see him being risked.

 

[The Baconator]

Went no, but wouldn't put it past Fletch and co.

 

[BoyBrumby]

The only way I could really see him appearing is if we're a test down after the first three & need to win one of the last two to retain the urn. If we're ahead or have been squarely corn-holed I can't see him being risked.

 

[howardj]

I think he'll play the 4th and 5th Test matches.

 

[aussie]

really not sure at this stage, it all depends on how the top-order goes & if he really is fit enough to play.

 

[GIMH]

Can't see him playing either way. If we're behind, why send in a player who might not last the five days? If we're ahead, why change a winning team?

Sure, if/when Vuaghan is fit again, he's back in the side and Captaining us again, but you don't risk it in a series this big.

 

[Perm]

I hope he doesn't, it will cause too much discomfort amongst the side and would be too disruptive.

 

[Josh]

He's here to support the side. Playing him underdone and unfit is just illogical. Vaughan will NOT play in this series.
