Is Michael Vaughan always “On the end of a phone”?
If someone wants to seek out Michael Vaughan’s advice then fine (although why anyone would want to is a bit beyond me considering all the trouble Vaughan had towards the end of his career). It’s obviously a case of Gale needing reassurance and a bit of advice while finding his feet as captain and Vaughan is being charitable by giving his time. He doesn’t have to after all. But considering that Vaughan is always at the other end of that bloody telephone he either has an inability to let go of the past and allow people to get on and thrive on their own. Or he has the misguided mentality that everyone needs his expertise and knowledge and only he has the key to understanding all things cricket (which would make him a delusional loon). Or he’s desperate for friends…. Hmmm, I bet it’s the last option.
