Michael Vaughan has now played in 63 ODIs and is yet to make a century, his top score is 90 not out. Which (if any) century do you think Vaughan will bring up first, 100 caps or 100 runs in an ODI innings?

It's a 50-50 call.

I'm inclined to lean towards him getting 100 caps first, but that's probably because I've seen him play a rather ar$e innings today. He'll keep getting picked 'cos his test record as skipper is first rate.

He should open, as I think should Bell. They're probably the most orthodox players in our ODI side so most in need of the extra time to play their natural games. Of course, with the fielding restrictions in the first 15 the temptation is to put in stroke players first up, but I think SA today showed the virtue of having wickets in hand come the last 10 overs. Kemp played a great little knock, but rather more steadfast innings from Gibbs & Kallis had laid the foundations.

Erm, I've wandered from the point a bit, but I'll go 100 caps first.

Vaughan / Tresco to open, Strauss 3 and Pietersen 4 with Flintoff(Bell for now) 5 and Collingwood 6, Jones 7, Giles 8 + 3 Fast Bowlers

I can't see Vaughan opening, that's not to say it won't happen. For me Strauss and Tresco should be opening and Vaughan to stay where he is. I still feel he's a bit of a passenger in the ODI team, it's only because Tresco is a not very good formulaic captain that keeps Vaughan playing really. He has as good a chance as ever of getting an ODI ton in the triangular against Bangladesh & Australia, but I don't think he'll get one.

Now this is coming from the biggest Vaughan fan.
To be fair its no secret that Vaughan will ever be a great OD player becuase of his shot limitations. But to say he is not a good player or even a passenger is not right. Thorpe has never made an ODI ton and butch didnt even make the cut, thats not to say their bad players. In an ODI a contribution of 80 or 90, like his has done, is arguably as good as a hundred. Just too many poeple like to jump on the Vaughan is usless in ODI's bandwagon when england are losing.

Should Vaughan be in the England ODI side full stop?? he's never seemed bring his test form to the oneday team. Do others think he would be in the ODI squad if he wasn't captain??

Is his domestic oneday record good??

ahhh, read my last post.

Domestic record: na, no good. he has however scored two domestic centuries, and the one last year i think it was 116* was amazing, it was against Lancashire in a cup match that helped win the game.

I think he'll get a century at some point when nobody expects it, like for example against Australia in the NWS this year, and it will come just in time to save himself from being axed, and then he'll drop into shocking form again for a while.

Such a well-thought out considered and explained post.
Why should he explain it, when its obvious to everyone?

The term used was 'not very good'.

It's a great shame that a player who looks so much at ease at times in test matches, looks almost out of his depth at times in ODI cricket.

Im going to say he will get a century before he reaches 100 ODI's.

I think he will get a hundred aganist BD, unless of course he get dropped before that. I read in another post that his average is 23 (not including BD and ZIM), unless he scores a 50 or above in this series aganist South Africa u think he would have to get dropped. An average under 30 isn't good enough in ODIs for a batsmen, even if u are a good captain.

No-one'd give the slightest damn about him not scoring centuries if his average was better.
It's not centuries that matter in ODIs, no - in both forms of the game, indeed, average is far more important than flashy instances like big scores. I'd take 40, 70, 53 ahead of 136, 6, 11 anyday, in either form of the game.
But Vaughan's average - against the up-to-standard sides - is aboninable for a supposed specialist batsman (23.87 presently).
I too am a huge Test-match-Vaughan fan (long as he's not opening the batting). But in ODIs I've never, ever, advocted his selection, for this precise reason:
