Michael Vaughan Great Quotations

He was a great player, captain of his country, and he's the king of the microphone.

It is obviously disappointing to lose Ashley Giles, our most experienced spin bowler. At the same time, it is a great opportunity for the three guys here.

We can't go anywhere without people wishing us luck. It's great to know that the nation will be right behind us when we take on the Aussies.

That's just Nasser for you. He fights really hard when people have a dig at him. He's had great input into the team and it was a really important innings for us.

It's a great opportunity if Simon isn't fit for someone to make a name for themselves. Chris Tremlett has been in the squad and he has a great opportunity to show what he can do in the final.

It's a great opportunity for the three guys who haven't played much Test cricket.

It was a fantastic game of cricket and we came within a wicket of going 2-1 up. I'm very pleased with the team and the way we dominated the whole match against a tough Australian side. Three weeks ago we were written off and 5-0 we kept hearing. There are a few tired bodies and minds on both teams but it's great the way this series has got the nation talking about it.

I don't see any reason why this young team should not go out and play the same game they have done over the past few weeks, go out and enjoy it and give it their all because that's all they can do and see where it takes us, ... This week is a great opportunity for the team to cement their place in the history of the game of cricket and it's great that we are in a position to do that.

Along with the rest of the country, I will be following the team's progress in the final Test with great interest and wish you the best of luck in your battle to regain the Ashes.
