Gough cannot waltz back into the side

Darren Gough has clearly not given up hope of an England recall. In fact, he has said that the 10 weeks of dancing have made him fitter than ever. However, Angus Fraser says that it is time to move on from Gough as a solution to England's one-day problems.

Gough's stock appears to have risen, which is proof that you are perceived to be a far better player when you are not in the side than when you are in it. Gough could possibly play in the 2007 World Cup, but he is not the force he was. One only has to look at last summer's figures against Australia.

But given the number of comebacks Gough has made it is certainly too early to rule out one more.
