"The team have had a real tough time on this tour and it's my job as captain to try and lift them and produce some competitive performances.

I am not sure if he will pull them round after such a devastating "Ashes" whitewash, but I think it is time for the England squad to try and regain some semblance of pride.

The 32-year-old is now fit following surgery and will aim to revive England's fortunes after Australia regained the Ashes with a whitewash.
Vaughan's first test will be Tuesday's international Twenty20 match in Sydney.
The tourists then face Australia and New Zealand in a triangular one-day series which begins against the Australians on 12 January. ""It's a great feeling to be back playing again and to be in the squad, but it's an added bonus to be back as captain," said Vaughan.

Also Roberts and Joel Garner
Garner at 6ft 8ins was also awesome, imagine fending off deliveries coming at you from a height of (at the point of delivery) 3 to 3.5 metres at fast pace
and a bouncer at that.........

He was a 6 ft 8 in (2.03 m) fast bowler capable of ripping through the heart of opposing batting line-ups. In conjunction with fellow fast bowlers Michael Holding, Andy Roberts, Colin Croft and later Malcolm Marshall, the West Indies reached unprecedented heights in the Test and one-day cricket arenas, not losing a Test series in 15 years. He is the tallest bowler ever to play Test cricket.
