Its unnecessary comment and I think in general he is wrong about most media but he is right about Vaughan and KP like

KP still bitter about Morgan rejecting calls to call him back other year, been waiting for a chance to nail him, like he does with everyone.

And Vaughan changes his tune every day, the biggest gobshite in English cricket. Vaughan was also the worst ODI captain there has been in my lifetime, so it must be galling for the current team to get so much criticism from him when he was so bad himsef

I do know what he means, as we have seen on this thread it feels like a couple of people, who I ain't gonna name, have been waiting in the wings for us to lose. There were literally people saying they had bottled it after 20 overs of the Pakistan game man

Saw it with Southgate too did really well in world cup, did really well to get to semis of this leage of nation thing, he loses one game and its "this is the real England" we are shite etc.

Maybe a siege mentality isn't the worst thing at the minute either.

I can't agree with the comment about Vaughan being the worst ODI captain. He didn't replicate his test match success but we were 2 wickets away from winning the Champions Trophy in 2004.

Will be a decent bet if Roy is fit for Sunday. I don’t think there is any team that looks unbeatable.

Players need to back themselves to play aggressive cricket which seems to have gone out of the window

India’s batting is probably their weakest suit. Bat first, 300+ and we have a chance. The down side is that their bowlers have been superb so it’s not looking likely.

See Vaughan has piped up ..."How wrong can @jbairstow21 be .. Never has England team had so much support but it’s you and your team that has disappointed Jonny .. WIN 2 games and you are in the semis .. With this negative, pathetic mindset I am concerned though .. it’s not the media’s fault you have lost 3 games .. !!!"

Comes across as a bit of a tit Vaughan at times mind.

I’ve listened to all the podcasts on 5 Live. Vaughan hasn’t been that bad, even when Sri Lanka beat us he didn’t get stuck in. He did up the ante after the Australia game though and rightly so, England Stokes aside were pathetic. Bairstow should have just kept quiet, makes we wonder about his mental approach at the moment.

Don't think Vaughan's in the wrong but it is a shame to see how much of a media puppet he's become. I started reading his autobiography again last weekend and he comes across as a completely likeable, level-headed lad with a good sense of humour and no shortage of intelligence. When you see him on TV now or social media you wouldn't think it's the same bloke, I can't understand it.

You seem to see a few ex-sportsman hit their 40's and change in front of the cameras and try to be a bit more zany, perhaps they are just trying to keep themselves relevant.

I dont think its necessary for someone in Vaughan's position to go on about pathetic mindset. Hopefully has a positive affect on the players though.

He’s in the media and it’s his job to generate hits & clicks. He’s probably just like many other England fans though, pissed off that the inevitable origami syndrome has kicked in. Bairstow should just do taking on the batting strip on Sunday, that’s what he’s paid to do, not get all precious in a media tit for tat.

Anyone know what time the Park & Ride at Rainton Arena opens?

Also, is there going to be contactless payments available at the ground?
 
those going today enjoy it, great event for the region.

Exactly.
Not that you'd know it from Look North this morning....mind you tomorrow's Northumberland Plate got a mention.

Today's Sky Sports Riverside Bingo:

Empty Seats
Thermal Vests
Durham Chairman Ian Botham
Lumley Castle Resident Ghost
Shane Watson
Slow wicket
Wooly Hats and Scarves.
Bit lively in first hour.

Mark Nicholas normally grates but very complimentary in his introduction to today's game. "Welcome to the North East,this beautiful part of England where the folk are so welcoming and friendly". Nasser's pitch report is it's a good pitch and it's quite warm. Mind Nicholas then overdoes the egging with "the sun's out now, it could be the Costabravo" .
 
Sri Lanka lose a wicket first ball.....Welcome to The Riverside!!!

Dagnell on TMS nipped in early with an 'empty seats to my right' then followed it up with a 'difficult place to get to as it lies between Newcastle and Durham'
