Aussies Plan to Bounce Out Vaughan
When the Australians start to go public with their plans for an opposition batsman, it's usually a compliment in disguise. Michael Vaughan has been identified as England's most dangerous batsman after scoring 218 runs during the innings-and-51-runs second-Test defeat at Adelaide, marking...

The Anguish; The Miracle; and The Catharsis
MIND GAMES Peter Roebuck is right. Recriminations are a waste of time. So let's stick with the positives: the class of Michael Vaughan, the bounce of Steve Harmison, the guts of Richard Dawson, and, er, um. Adelaide was bad, and it could get worse. Merv Hughes has...

England Add Collingwood to Ashes Squad

What you really need, David, is bowlers who can bowl
Cricketers generally make Saturday and Sunday a time of sweat and effort. But England clocked off with the long-weekenders on Thursday evening and went celebrating with Michael Vaughan (who obviously had such a big night that he could not make it on to the field to help his brothers chase some leather).

England Sweat Over Vaughan

Second Test, First Day, Evening Session
67th over: England 232-2 (Vaughan 146, Hussain 38) Hussain is playing a patient game against Warne, and it's working well. His defence is immaculate. 66th over: England 232-2 (Vaughan 146, Hussain 38) Vaughan runs Gillespie down to third man. How Australia must be...

Second Test, First Day, Afternoon Session
54th over: England 192-2 (Vaughan 111, Hussain 35) A series of fast-and-nasty bouncers from, er, Steve Waugh. They're so slow that Hussain has time to think about ducking, then decides to sway, makes a cup of tea, andfinally decides to prod. He gets a thickish edge and Warne drops a...

Vaughan a jewel in the bland
There are some wise old birds in international cricket, and none more sagacious than the Australian captain Steve Waugh. So when he observed on Sunday that it was not the best plan to peak in a warm-up match, it was only right that England should take notice.

It's all in the toss

Vaughan puts injury fear on ice
Michael Vaughan spent half of England's practice session here yesterday with a large ice-pack strapped to his right knee. It was a reminder of the Yorkshire opening batsman's battle to regain full fitness in time for the first Test. However, fears that he would miss the Ashes opener in Brisbane on November 7 are now easing.

One-off Vaughan's star turn
Michael Vaughan is in no doubt as to his finest moment of the summer. Among all the runs, the screaming catch at short cover to dismiss his Test opening partner Marcus Trescothick of Somerset in the C&G final at Lord's, and the shower of praise that has descended upon his shining head as the reincarnation of Peter May, the Lancastrian Yorkshireman will remember forever bowling Sachin Tendulkar through the gate in the second Test at Trent Bridge.

Only half marks for Hussain
So the final say of a summer in which batsmen have prospered and bowlers sweated blood went not to Michael Vaughan or Rahul Dravid or the great Sachin Tendulkar. Instead torrential rain washed in, drowned the Oval and caused abandonment of Test and series at lunchtime.

England v India: the fourth Test, day four, second session
And that, people, is tea. The match is actually more delicately poised than it sounds. India trail by just 29 and there are four sessions to go. That's plenty of time for England to collapse ignominiously against India's spinners on a pitch that is starting to take turn. It's also plenty of time for Vaughan to make it five centuries in the season. Do join me again from 4 o'clock.

91st over: England 344-2. Vaughan takes a look at Ajit Agarkar's first wayward delivery, which sails well wide of off, and then slaps the second through the covers. Four. Another boundary soon follows as he angles his bat towards off and lets the ball do the work...
