I have to say, I could see it coming. That rather petulant interview with Jonathan Agnew on the Today prog last week. Obviously the lack of form and defeat against South Africa didn’t do any good. But overall it seems to have been the pressure of the job that finally took its toll. This is at least the second England captain we have lost to ‘burn out’.
People should be worried. There is no way on earth a sporting person should be forced to an emotional edge such that he breaks down in a press conference as did the admirable Vaughan yesterday. No country had been invaded. No murder committed. If this kind of scene has become the norm then we as a nation need to address our priorities.
That was a bit heavy, wasn’t it? Totally out of character.
