Vaughan: I avoided the ball for fear of dropping it
Michael Vaughan has admitted he sometimes avoided the ball because he feared dropping it.
Speaking on 5 live Sport, the former England captain said he was afraid of letting the team down so would move himself in the field so he wouldn't have to catch the ball.
"There was times when I was thinking please don't be me because there was a chance I would drop the ball and lose the game," he told Mark Chapman and Phil Tufnell.
"I was lucky as a captain, I could go into a position where I felt the ball wasn't going to go."
