Vaughan bemoans missing a double century again
CricInfo - 6 September 2002

It is not often that a man who has scored 195 in a Test match complains that he has got out, but Michael Vaughan was annoyed with himself after doing just that. He was 182 not out overnight, but added only 13 runs to that score on the second day before being caught behind off Zaheer Khan.

Vaughan said: "I was disappointed to get out today because I was looking to go beyond 200. But it was decent ball. At least I didn't get it when I was on nought."

Vaughan has enjoyed a very successful summer, joining an elite band of England players who have recorded four Test centuries in one season. He also just missed out on a double century at trent Bridge. He puts the success down to a change in attitude. "I am looking to be a lot more positive and Duncan Fletcher has been very helpful and taught me a few new tricks. I felt I could hit the ball all round the park yesterday."

Dominic Cork made a successful return to the Test side with the bat and now needs to contribute with the ball. "We have to stay consistent, get the ball in the right areas and try and take the edge," he said.

Getting the ball in right areas consistently was what Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh did to become, amazingly, the first bowler in the series to take five wickets in an Innings. He believes there is still time for India to win this match, despite the England first innings total of 515.

"We are pretty much back in the match, we just need to bat well tomorrow. It is now quite open, it's only the second day and there is a lot of time left. We have batsmen in form and ideally I won't have to bat. We have two spinners and the ball will turn more as time goes on."
