Vaughan gone?

Michael Vaughan is set to find out whether he needs more surgery on his injured knee on Monday after a meeting between England and Yorkshire physios. His condition appeared to worsen while he was playing in Yorkshire's innings and 25-run County Championship defeat away to Sussex at Arundel.

Vaughan has been ruled out of Yorkshire's C&G match against Worcestershire at New Road. He spent much of the match at Arundel in the dressing room while Yorkshire were fielding. And when he came out to bat Friday he could only manage four runs off four balls before being lbw to the Pakistan seamer Yasir Arafat.

"Michael's rehab programme seems to have suffered a setback and we will have to decide whether he needs a longer period of strengthening his knee or if some other course of action is required," the Yorkshire physio Scott McAllister told Saturday's edition of the Northern Echo newspaper. "A fourth operation on his knee is a possibility but at this stage nothing has been set in stone and the situation needs to be carefully assessed."

A fresh operation would sideline Vaughan from the remainder of the season with both Yorkshire and England. He has not played for England since the tour of Pakistan before Christmas due to a knee problem and only returned to cricket with Yorkshire a month ago.

"There's no point Michael playing for England if he's not fit," David Graveney, the chairman of England's selectors told the Evening Standard after speaking to Vaughan. "The last thing he should feel is that there's any added pressure on him to come back because the team are not doing very well." [/quote:8hvbqm60]

It seems like the Vaughan era might be over. But, he is badly needed right now, Flintoff isn't doing to well against Sri Lanka.

They'll need him if they have any intentions of retaining the Ashes, for sure. The England side looks pretty terrible, at the moment.

Too many players have been lost to injury, but hopefully most of them can come back before December.
