England face a serious uphill battle to reach the World Cup semi-finals after losing to Australia and in The Times Simon Wilde lays some of the blame with the captain.
At the moment, Michael Vaughan's reactions simply don't seem good enough. When he batted, his defensive stroke was undone by Shaun Tait's pace. This was more forgivable than his bad miss in the field when the match was very much in the balance.
Simon Hughes writes in the Daily Telegraph that England seem to find the powerplays a handicap when they bat.
Blogging for the Guardian, Lawrence Booth takes a more positive tack and writes about Ian Bell’s potential as a one-day opener.
