Batting's class,perfection,style,elegance of Vaughan coming to an end

Michael Vaughan's announcement of retirement from senior cricket is going to be a major setback for the limited class, perfection, style, elegance which persists in current international cricket.After Sachin Tendulkar and VVS Laxman he is the only batsmen who plays all the shots in the book in a copybook style. His elegance speaks with every shot he plays, especially the straight and cover drive whenever displayed is soothing to the eyes.

The result of disciplined bowling claimed a comfortable win for the Westindies in the second match as the Indian batsmen with less foot movement were trapped behind the wickets.
The Indian batsmen seems to be still in twenty twenty mood where all type of shots count but a fifty over game is different where shots have to be played with the merit of the ball. This was clearly absent as the Indian batsmen dint come in the line of ball and played away from the body.
"If you wanna sit then shit otherwise just get out of the pot" Rohit Sharma should better understand this with batsman like Abhishek Nayar waiting to step in. Just check the record of Sharma's past ten matches in international cricket which tells that he needs to really work hard to secure his place.
