Don't know what the hoo-haa about Vaughan is; a guy so up himself that he constantly refers to himself in the third person. Good captain yes but that's Strauss' job now. He should do the decent thing and say "I am....(sorry)... Michael Vaughan is retiring from International cricket".
Shah should be given a extended run with Bell as back-up.
I've received confidential news that Ricky Ponting was heard chatting with the selectors immediately after MPV's innings, desperately trying to get out of the Ashes tour.
England would not want to take a step backward by picking Vaughan again. The Ashes is too close and this is not the time to be making drastic changes to the composition of the side, especially to the crucial #3 slot.
N.B.: I understand your are an English fan and you wanted this blog to resemble the English ODI jersey. But the colours cause a strain on the eye NWG.Why not try the English test outfit :)
Nightwatchgirl's Pick of the Cricket News this week
Farewell Ricky Ponting and Michael Hussey. NWG always enjoys it when useful Australian batsmen retire, even if one of them is moody and small.
Stuart Broad is on NWG's naughty list. If she ever meets him she would like to educate him in how to be a polite human being instead of being mean to Sir Ian Botham. It's not on Stuart. And that's probably why your heel hurts. Just saying.
Of all the things to invent in the world of cricket, did we really need wickets that light up when they get hit? NWG is doubtful. The Big Bash therefore falls short in terms of innovation. She would have preferred one fielder to have springs in their shoes so they could jump really high or something equally as funny/ridiculous/dangerous.
NWG would like to advertise herself. For once. She advises you all to listen to this podcast and note all the kind things they say about NWG...
NWG would like to thank Patrick Kidd at The Times for putting NWG in the top 50 cricket blogs in the world. She is overwhelmed.
Andrew Symonds makes bold statement: "I'm in a position of responsibility and I can't live irresponsibly. I've realised that." Groundbreaking. (NWG can't bear to take this down)
Ashes Forum
Come and check out the new Ashes Forum on Silly Point with Nightwatchgirl. Don't be shy...
It is my mission to make cricket understandable to all. So along with cricket news, there will also be explanations of particular rules and any other weird business that happens on or off a cricket field.
If you have any questions please email me: nightwatchgirl@gmail.com

Wouldn't that be a treat.

Is that better for you 12th man?
Much better and more readable. Thanks NWG.
I can't see the white ball!!!...it's getting lost in the background.
I agree with 12th Man about the previous colour....how about a World Cup '92 theme though?
NWG won't take fashion advice from men. Ever. Sorry.
Not even nice men?
Hold on a minute! I'm not a man....I just checked.
Where did I say I was a man anyway?
NWG just realised that you haven't given away your gender, so she does apologise if you are not a man.
Apology accepted. I just come back from a long innings and these boxes really do chafe.
O....can you tell NWG to stop referring to herself in the 3rd person....or is she Michael Vaughan in disguise?
Breaking news: NWG is not Michael Vaughan.
Prove it!
Do you have two functioning knees?
Actually no. One is definitely defunct.
I knew it! The third person thing, the dodgy knee and the NightWatch-person name (Vaughan has an average like one).
It's all beginning to add up. I'm closing in on you NWG, or should I say Vaughany?
NWG can assure you she is not Michael Vaughan, or any other cricketer. She's just a girl....
You could have at least pretended to be...for me. All that detective work for nothing.
Ah well, I'll have to go nag Michael Vaughan now, ask him if he's just a girl. I can probably hazard a guess at what his answer's going to be:
"Michael Vaughan is just Michael Vaughan"
Surely this says something about your detective work....
Oooo, that was below the belt. I may have to retire hurt from that one.
Before I make may way to the pub-villion, what happened to your knee?
It was born bad
Ahh! your knee and I have something in common.
When did you give birth to it and how did you manage prior to its birth?
