Patrick Kidd writes about an interesting interview with Michael Vaughan in which the latter has a go at Jonathan Agnew:

"Well I got three good balls and Test cricket can be tough," Vaughan said, which is fair enough, but then added: "Anyway, you didn't bowl in any Test matches because you weren't good enough." The implication was clear: don't criticise me if you haven't been there yourself, unfortunately as well as rude it was incorrect.

"Look in Wisden," Agnew said, referring to his three Tests in 1984-85, yet still Vaughan carried on: "Well you weren't any good anyway."

Oh dear. Out first ball in the Test today too, as South Africa take some early wickets. Kidd has also started a countdown to the Ashes next year that's worth reading.
