As England and Pakistan prepare to meet at Headingley, two voices from England's cricketing past have spoken with rare unanimity: the series, they say, is already decided in spirit. Michael Vaughan and Stuart Broad, men who once shaped English cricket's identity, see in this Pakistani side a team diminished by injury, inconsistency, and the absence of its captain. Their predictions are less a provocation than a reflection of how fragile cricketing fortunes can become when circumstance and form conspire against a travelling side.
