Vaughan is back at the top of his game, both as a batsman and as a captain who wants to crush under-foot these callow West Indians as if they were a displeasing insect. Ruthlessness he wishes to be his hallmark, and he can acquire even more of it if he sticks to the Test-match captaincy, and thereby conceals his vulnerability in the game's more frenetic versions - and 20-over cricket is about to proliferate in the coming months.

We wonder who could replace him – an out-of-form Andrew Strauss, the injured Andrew Flintoff or perhaps KP. Guess fixing a helmet would be top priority for KP right now.
