Umm, it looks like they're going to pick Gilo, so don't rule it outGloucefan said:I'd love to see Vaughan back in the side, but a match fit and in-form Vaughan please. Seriously even if he is over his injury by the third test he still won't have played cricket for around a year, surely he can't be picked?
Agreed, but one can argue that the likes of Giles, Anderson & Flintoff are in the same sort of position in that they haven't played much other than in the Champions Trophy. If he has fully recovered i'd only pick him if if one of Cook/Bell/Collingwood has failed in the 1st two test & its likely that he will get the captaincy.Poker Boy said:I just think this is a distraction we could do without. Where is he going to get match practice? If he came into the team would he be captain? He would surely only come into the team if we were in trouble - if we were ahead in the series or level by Perth there would be no need to change. If we were down 0-1 or 0-2 it would be seen as a panic measure. Considering his one-day record would we want him in the VB series anyway? No Vaughan should spend this winter getting fit start 2007 with Yorkshire and score runs to win back his Test place. He is in a funny posistion - a bad winter with the bat for the team would make it easier for him to get back in - but I'm sure the last thing he wants is for us to have a bad winter.
