I think he is a confidence player and he hasn't had much of that lately with his injury at the start of the season and some fans getting on his back,it's almost like when Monty first came into the England cricket team low in confidence in himself and made some mistakes and was getting jeered from some but now everyone is behind him and love the guy and he starting performing, we should show the same support towards Vass.
Saying that though cricket fans are class and on a different level to other sports fans imo.
Vassell is useless and has no place anywhere near the side. Forget sentimentality, you just have to look at his performances this season. I've also got to say I'm not sure why he has got this reputation that he's such a 'tryer' too. The amount of times this year I've seen people ghost past him and he's done nothing, just can't be ignored.
Monty started to get wickets (his job) and that's why the England fans began to like him - if he hadn't then they wouldn't have supported him. Look at their reaction to the likes of Ian Bell when he first came in a year too early or the reaction to The King of Spain. Also Monty's silly celebration after getting a wicket didn't hurt either. English fans of any sport love that gear - look at the ridiculous reaction to Crouch acting like a knob when he scored.
