Yeah as you say that one seems a bit odd. That said it’s just his side of the story, so be interesting to see the full picture. It’s good that there’s finally some consequence to this - there are a lot of people who appear to need education.

Vaughan is clearly a racist arsehole, though. He shares the sort of "let's go back to World War II" and "all Muslims need to apologise whenever a Muslim does anything bad" type rubbish, beloved by racist arseholes, on Twitter.

Vaughan is an arrogant arsehole. See him about sometimes in Sheffield and he has that air about him. I hope this finishes him. The whole thing regarding this is absolutely disgraceful.

"Former Yorkshire player Rana Naved-ul-Hasan says he heard an alleged racist comment made by Vaughan to a group of Asian players."

I noticed when Nasser Hussain was discussing this with Atherton on Sky yesterday that he used the quote allegedly used by Vaughan, 'one of them' as his lead comment. I suspect there are plenty of people who know what he's like.

Yes, so it would appear.

I mean would anyone be surprised to find out Vaughan is a bit of a wanker and has used the sort of langauge that wankers often do?

[PaulWinch again]

Yes and being pro Trump. I wonder if he regrets being so gobby now.

Well, thanks a fucking lot West Indies. Relying on England throwing the South Africa game to knock the Aussies out, then.

[PaulWinch again]

The West Indies have been terrible and today seemed like some sort of Chris Gayle farewell exhibition.

SA are going to put on a big score here. Will be tough because they’ve got some excellent boilers.

[PaulWinch again]

Blimey not a great over from Woakesy.

The Aussies have beaten South Africa so they will go though even if SA beat England. Because all 3 teams in that scenario would have beaten each other run rate will come into play. England and Australia qualify.

And their grillers are not bad either.

Wood has not done well.
