Michael Vaughan Good Quotations

We want to have a good long chat with Freddie. It's his home ground, he knows the conditions. Over the last year or so we haven't played that much here. We want to look at the options - normal swing, reverse swing, bounce, all the areas you cover at any game of cricket. We'll just have a good chat this afternoon.

We haven't been to the sub-continent and won yet. If we play good cricket over there, I'm sure the rankings will change.

I have a lot of respect for him, he is doing a good job with the South Africa team. We just had a bit of a fall-out last winter. These things happen.

He looks to have a good physique for bowling, he can bat as well and he's a good fielder. Hopefully he'll have a good career ahead of him,

I thought we started the Test match at Lord's very well and for a day and a half we were good and then Australia took the game away from us - we've got to make sure we keep our performance levels up for a sustained period of play.

We have a good idea of what they're going to come up with, we've got a lot of footage and a lot of players have played against them.

We need to test our skills in Pakistan and India. If we play good cricket over there, I'm sure the rankings will change.

To beat Australia you need to have a good team performance but you also need individual brilliance,

We want to be sure that if we decide to play with one spinner then Giles is feeling good about himself.

With Leeds, you always know there is going to be a good game of cricket,

This is the most exciting part of the winter and South Africa are a good team who will provide a good test for us.

It's a bit of a lottery but we played some good cricket. Today was our day. I don't think it will have any impact on the five-day matches to come.

For James to bowl as well as he did on his debut was fantastic. It was a good a toss to win, but we exploited the conditions fantastically.

For everyone's good it's important that I get it sorted and come back fit and strong in the summer.

It's never happened before, we're pretty pleased with the 11 that's played for us in the games so far. Over the last few years, Australia has had an 11 they play very, very regularly. If they change it, I'm not sure if it's a good or bad thing. We'll just have to wait and see.

Its definitely not an ideal start to have had going into the Test matches. He's such a good player, and he was probably our best batsman on occasion, so it's a big blow.

I'm sure they will put us under a lot of pressure, but it's good to know that we've faced them before,

But we are proud to have beaten a very good India side. We have improved in leaps and bounds and we hope to take this form into the Champions Trophy.
