I've voted for Warne as cricket, for me, is only worth watching when the bowler is on top... and Warne's the only option that involves much guile: I'd rather watch Langveldt or Pedro Collins than Lee or Akhtar!

For aesthetic quality, Vaughan's cover drive and his swivel pull are brilliant to watch.

No, I mean that class pull shot off just short of a good length, the best part of which is when the bowler stands, hands on hips in disbelief, as the ball clatters the boards in front of midwicket.

It's amazing how Vaughan can dispatch a good ball to the boundary with that shot, it looks so effortless. A thing of true beauty!!

Hope to see it this Ashes, although not too many times. Preferably just before Option B (Warne starts messing - preferably with Batsmen than text messages)

Call me ignorant or whatever but I honestly think Vaughan is horrible player to the eye. Pullshots shouldnt be pansy shots. Pansy shots should be limited to nudges and sweet cover drivers. A pullshot should be a symbol of power and control. Not "Oops I almost didnt see that, but did recover in time (as always) to hit it for four). Peterson and Flintoff are much better are players (whether powerhitting or being defensive)and are the real treats in the english team
