Rachael I think this is a fair question - what difference will it make if Vaughan is absent? - he is a good captain, possibly as good as Jardine and Illingworth - but his form has been gone for far to long.

He will get out to early, and that sets the tone for the rest of the young team to follow.

After Australia (not in the best of form) it boils down to any from New Zealand - England - India or Pakistan, also the Windies can't be wrote off yet.
