    yeh its ok can still tie the series. im just worried about the batting displays. And now strauss is going home for final test. Vaughn needs to pull his finger out IMO

    Not sure why Vaughan is singled out..

    The whole of our top order needs to become more consistent in scoring runs. Bell is improving, no doubt about that, but we were let down by more than just Vaughan.

    In the third test I'd play the young lad Cook in place of Strauss who's going home, because he's an unknown quantity where as the Pakistan side know they can get Collingwood, and know how to get him too.

    RE: Not sure why Vaughan is singled out..

    agree collingwood would be a mistake at this point. I think Vaughan is singled out beacuse going back from start of the summer he has only had one good innings the 166 (or whatever it was) to be fair he hasnt had much of a warm up being injured and all. Your right though not enough consistancy at all. Today was shambolic 20-4
