Yes he did. Jig a jig's still having surgery to remove the plums from his throat again. Commentators were suggesting he had double padding down there for this game.Drop Cummins, he didn't fire a shot in the second innings

Yep, might be something in that. He was going great until the plums got shaken up and crushed a bit again. Not willing to get forward enough perhaps.
Yep.
So many games of manufactured shots on absolutely docile pitches, because everyone wants to see 6,s smashed all over the place in 20 seconds of exciteme crickup. Not that many batters playing who can construct a hard earned 100 on a pitch that's giving the bowlers an opportunity.
Except for absolute green tops, 3rd day of tests used to be the main day for setting up the push towards victory. Best day for batting conditions to start building the big total for the other mob to try n chase on later days in the game when players had tired n the pitch started to deteriorate.
Don’t follow Vaughan on Twitter so I can’t comment on his tweets and I can’t say I’ve heard him say anything in commentary but we get limited exposure to him.
Maybe you can share some examples and happy to change my opinion.
The bloke in front was a saint
What's that ring or halo on the bottom right?
Yes those comments were not good I agree. I have made jokes in my younger days that I definitely regret and to be honest shudder over, probably as many of us have.He's made a couple of racist tweets over the years, pretty much your stock standard racist go-tos, about immigration and Muslims.
Also told the hilarious anecdote on-air about how the Yorkshire lads called Pujara 'Steve' because they couldn't pronounce his first name.
Of course he has a rock solid alibi for that. "Times have changed". Glad we are out of the dark old day of 2018.

Maybe it's a good thing he was here. Must have hurt him to watch one of those spear chucking darkies rip the heart out of his team.
I like to see people learn from their mistakes, own them and make sure they don’t happen again.
Hopefully Michael Vaughan is in that camp
It's difficult to imagine many cricket clubs and players not having some racist overtones in the past. How many local clubs have had many non-white players in the past? Ignorance of what casual racism is is half the problem. My local side now has about 5 guys of Indian background in the team. Not in the previous 5 decades were there any Indian guys. Curry munchers, elephant washers are what a lot of the older generation called them. When you're a young guy at a club you look to older guys for cultural leadership. Ignorance of the impacts of words is an issue. Change is happening in many clubs in our comp, but its slow. The more awareness and less judgement the better. Some seem to have never transgressed.

Mate, get off your high horse. Its hardly like people in Australia don't do these things too. Its not right anywhere, but to indicate that it happens (particularly the Steve comment) elsewhere and not in Australia is ignorant at best.
Christian says casual racism still ‘an issue’ in cricket
Australian T20 specialist Dan Christian has opened up on the ”casual racism” he says he has encountered throughout his playing career and how he’s started to receive apologies in the wake of the Black Lives Matter movement.

Also remember Andrew Symonds and CA trying to sweep the monkey chants in India under the carpet in fear of upsetting the BCCI?
BTW - Since I've moved to Australia the amount of times I've heard the term paki used. That term is NEVER used in England anymore and hasn't since I was a child due to the offence it has on that community but of course that doesn't matter so much in Australia as there aren't as many from the Pakistani community living in Australia so still seems fair game here for some reason.
No, it's because, historically, the word has never been a term of abuse in Australia. It was always used in reference to the Pakistan cricket team in the same vein as Aussies, Windies, Kiwis, Lankans or Poms. The use of Paki as a slur was the preserve of the Brits. I was pretty stunned when I was there at its use (and venom). Different countries separated by a common language and all that.
If this has changed in parts of Australia it's a change for the worse and I'm glad I don't live in those places.
I got into a spot of bother the first time I was in the UK and used the term Paki. I had absolutely no idea that it was considered offensive but was set straight pretty quickly. Haven't used it since but as royce said above, in Australia it's used similar to Kiwis, Windies etc etc. I doubt most Australians that use term have any idea it's considered offensive in the UK.
Call me a traditionalist but the term Batter now used in cricket reeaaalllly grinds my gears
It aint Baseball even though the modern Batting Technique looks more akin to an MLB Hitter standing at the plate.
PC shitt can GAGF, what was wrong with the terms Batsman and Batswoman.
Just another PC Load of Wank killing my interest in Sport, along with the obviously contrived PC quota system of female commentators and pundits everywhere.

They'll still be happier being away from the UK.England quarantined in Brisbane for 14 days prior to the first test........................only to lose the Ashes in 12 days
Probably quite a few happy to get Covid so they don’t have to play the next test
