England v West Indies, 3rd Test, Old Trafford, 1st day

"There used to be a bloke who gave himself out by walking when he'd hit the ball. The popularity of that within his team-mates may be shown by the fact that since his retirement, they no longer reply to any emails, phone calls or text messages."

England v West Indies, 3rd Test, Old Trafford, 1st day

By Emma last year, at the start of June Leave a comment on this post

While the media is busy having a field day at the expense of Michael Vaughan, the man at least seems able to win a toss. England have chosen to bat first on a pitch that would have an in form Harmison licking his lips, so he’ll be hoping to stick his feet up until tomorrow.

I’ll join the party then.

I reckon Michael Vaughan and ET are long-lost twins. Link below and on my name.

Good toss to win. Strauss must be gutted.

Just a quick word about the Vaughan thing. While he was naive to say the Guardian journo had misquoted him, the reaction from the press has been laughable and over-precious. To mix a few metaphors/cliches, the Guardian whipped up a storm in the tea cup and then spat the dummy when their integrity was called into doubt. They’ve now shot themselves in the foot, because no cricketer will give them an interesting/honest answer again.

I suspect it took Vaughan a shake of the head, a raise of the eyebrows and a “bloody press” to clear the air with Fred.

Vaughan was wrong to say he was misquoted but he has definitely been misrepresented by the media all around the world.
