I'll be back vows Vaughan
Michael Vaughan vowed to battle through his form crisis following England’s surprise failure in the NatWest Series against New Zealand and the West Indies. 

Vaughan has scored just 47 runs in his last 5 one-day innings, but pledged yesterday to do whatever it took to get back into good nick before the Test series against the Windies starts in two weeks.
“It’s been a terrible tournament for me because I haven’t got a run,” admitted Vaughan, who watched both Andrews, Strauss and Flintoff, score centuries in the must-win match against Brian Lara’s team, but still fall short.
“I am more disappointed for the team than anything else because I haven’t got them off to good starts.  There are no excuses.  I just haven’t played well enough,” added Vaughan.
“It doesn’t matter where you bat.  I could have gone in at 10 and if I’d played the same way, I still wouldn’t have got any runs.   One to 11 - play like I have done and you don’t get runs.
“I have just got to get my form and rhythm back and start getting the feel of the ball on the bat again.  There have been 9 days of cricket in this tournament and I haven’t turned into a bad player in that time.   I will be back and I will work hard to regain my form.   It’s important that I get it back before the Test series starts”.
