5 out of 22 tosses is probably similar to the records of Hussain and Atherton, is irritating really as they can be a big help.

Have to feel for Butcher - he's been playing with an injury and then as soon as a paradise for batsmen appears, it's too bad for him to play!

Hussain won 19 out of 45 (42.22%)
Atherton 23 out of 54 (42.59%)

Vaughan's percentage is a shocking 22.73%

IIRC fat gatt was the last captain to have a better than 50% toss win record. winning 60.87% (14/23)

Don't see the point in bowling Giles at the moment, he's purely there to save runs and they're scoring comfortably off him. I'd much rather see S Jones bowling or even a part-timer.

Now we know why Vaughan is the captain and not Scaly Piscine :p

I've got to say I've been very impressed with Vaughan's captaincy, some of those field placings are very inventive.

I just wonder how well Hussain would have gone with this team, the captains thing he does in the tea break is very thorough and impresses me.
