| Correct decision for me, doing himself no good scratching around in county cricket with no chance of regaining an England place.
Will go down in history as one of England's best test captains. I will never forget those 2005 Ashes which he played a massive part in.

| sad news, my occasional 'Brearley' line indicate how esteem i held him as a captain, sadly his dreadful injuries never saw him attain the levels with his own form that we all hoped for and he was capable of - I hope is cricketing brain is utilised when the time is right for all concerned.

| I thought he had retired three years ago. He certainly hasn't done much for Yorkshire for ages.
A shame that his later 'efforts' have probably overshadowed his excellent previous efforts.

Only a total sad case would let the very recent past outweigh his magnificent England career

Thanks for that personal insult. I'm sure he's worried by my opinion. Parky'll cheer him up.

| Great player before he became captain. He became a magnificent captain, perhaps England's best ever, but gradually forgot his form with the bat. Sad news for Vaughan, but probably the best decision. He should go on til the end of the season.

Looks like he can't even manage his own retirement properly. Or perhaps some people jumped the gun, and should check the facts first.

I agree, the BBC did jump the gun along with several of the papers.

| I think this was inevitable, in a way I am surprised it has taken this long - rumours were circulating that he was about to pack it in when he had his first niggle this year but I think that carrot of a possible Ashes place just about kept him going.
In hindsight he should probably have retired when he gave up the England captaincy - I think I said on here at the time that it would be interesting to see how many players who had been on the central contracts for a few years would drift back into the county game once those contracts and test cricket have gone, and I think this sort of situation could become the norm when more players who have been centrally contracted for a while come to the end of their England days.
As for Vaughan himself I think he was the most elegant English batsman of his time, probably since Gower, and I really did enjoy watching him bat when he was playing well - even though he never really took to the 1 day game a century he scored at Old Trafford to knock Lancs out of the cup back in 2004(?) was one of the best I have seen live, full of sensational stroke-play in the traditional sense.
Not many batsman in recent years have handled the all-conquering Aussies as he did (averages about 48 in Ashes tests IIRC) and even though his batting suffered when he took on the England captaincy you could hardly say it affected us given his record doing that.

| It would have been nice to see him stick around and help bring some of the young batsmen at Yorkshire on (the likes of Gale, Sayers, Lyth, Bairstow etc could pick up a lot from spending a year or so around him).
