    "editor1": "<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:verdana\">London, Aug 12 (IANS) Former skipper Michael Vaughan admitted Tuesday that he was wrong in calling for Alastair Cook to be replaced as England&#39;s cricket captain.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:verdana\">After England lost the Lord&#39;s Test to India, Vaughan advised Cook to take a break. But Vaughan feels that Cook has proved his leadership abilities after England took a 2-1 lead in the series.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:verdana\">&quot;No question, I was wrong. Two-and-a-half-weeks ago, I said a break would&#39;ve done him good. But the England and Wales Cricket Board stood by him, he was strong and said: I&#39;m the man to carry this young team forward,&quot; said Vaughan on BBC Radio 5.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:verdana\">Vaughan, who had led England to Ashes glory in 2005, believed Cook should have been stood down as captain after the Lord&#39;s Test. Vaughan also suggested that Cook must be given a six-month break from cricket in order to get fresh for a busy schedule next year.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:verdana\">But Cook answered all his critics with with knocks of 95 and 70 not out in Southampton that England won by 266 runs.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:verdana\">In Southampton, Cook was given a major reprieve in his first innings when he was put down on 15 by Ravindra Jadeja. Vaughan feels the dropped catch altered the momentum in the five-Test series.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:verdana\">&quot;I think that one catch is the real twist of the whole series. If Jadeja had caught Cook on 15, I really felt at that time, it would have been a disaster for the side,&quot; he said.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n",
