Michael Vaughan can't be arsed captaining the one-day side or summat like that

Michael Vaughan has resigned England's one-day captaincy. It would seem that there's a fair chance he won't appear in the team at all.

That would be quite sad, because it would mean that he had failed in one-day cricket and the vast majority of England supporters don't want that. They want Michael Vaughan to be a success in one-day cricket, as he is in Test cricket.

Many people, us included, still kind of think that Michael Vaughan could be a one-day success, but the evidence has been stacking up solely on one side for years now. It's just wishful thinking to believe otherwise and wishful thinking has no place in sport at this level.

Trust us. Wishful thinking's never got us an England call-up. Maybe the selectors will be swayed by the dynamite case we presented in our previous update.

Wishes that we're still waiting on:
Being picked for England
Finding a fiver
Never having to speak to anyone on the phone ever again
Magic poncho
Thinking about something other than death during the winter months
