Time to move on

It's time to wake up

It's time to wake up. The idea that Michael Vaughan is still the 'undisputed' captain of England is laughable. With Alastair Cook and Paul Collingwood among the runs, Vaughan might still have to earn his place in the side, writes Mike Selvey in The Guardian.
His knee, in other words, is shot, its condition chronic. In which case this is no longer about getting Vaughan fit for cricket. It is about trying to make sure that by the time he enters middle age he is not doing so on a stick.
Angus Fraser however feels it's still premature to write off Vaughan for good, looking back at his own career-threatening injuries. Fraser recounts his tale in The Independent.
"Why me?" is the sentiment that prevails as you consider a life without cricket, but it is the uncertainty that gets you down.
