England captain Michael Vaughan's chances of playing on the Ashes tour of Australia later this year are hanging by a thread after it was announced that he needs a new knee operation.
An England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) statement said the operation, the fourth on the Yorkshire batsman's right knee, would mean Vaughan would be out of cricket for a period of four to six months.
It now seems as if only an extraordinary recovery would allow Vaughan, who led England to a 2-1 home success against Australia last year, to take part in his team's defence of the Ashes when the series starts at the Gabba on November 23.

And extraodinary recovery indeed, and he will do it. I expect to see both Michael Vaughan and Simon Jones in Australia, as unlikely as it looks now.
