Spiltting the captaincy duties between Andrew Strauss and Andrew Flintoff could work for England, just as it did for Australia, writes Mike Selvey in The Guardian.
For the past 10 months the England team, like Ray Charles with Georgia, have had Michael Vaughan on their minds.

He is still a spectre hanging over the dressing room.
