Michael Vaughan Test Quotations

The real test will come when I start running, twisting and bowling but I am confident I will be on the plane for India next month.

Steve produced one of the greatest spells of bowling by an England player,

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

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.

We will test it on Monday and make a decision after the training session.

I had an injection on Wednesday night, tested it at nets yesterday and am going to monitor it over the next 48 hours.

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.

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.

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

I had a light net today to test out the knee but it is still too early to say whether the injection has had an effect and we will just have to wait and see how it responds over the next 48 hours.

The one-day team is a little bit below the Test team at the minute, but we are building for 2007 and the World Cup. As a team and players, we had a lot of self-belief that we could turn things around (after first Test defeat at Lord's), and we also have a lot of self-belief we can do very well in the World Cup come 2007.

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