>>He concluded that Vaughan's decision when to bat was shite and that there is a problem there.<< Was it a bad decision? Clearly we don't have the firepower to chase down a total - as the Sri Lanka game proved. Can you imagine that lot chasing down 350? But if our batsmen had been able to cope with SA's line & length pacemen they could have posted 250 or so batting first - which might have allowed us to put some pressure on when bowling. We were 110 for 3 after 30 overs - 7 an over in the last 20 would have given 250. Batting first was an attempt to bat to our "strengths", but it didn't come off because the batsmen played badly. Mark
