Aamer's regret

Vaughan accuses
London: Former England captain Michael Vaughan accused Sri Lankan skipper Kumar Sangakkara of “skulduggery”.
“Sangakkara has stuffed Dhoni. He shouted tails in the first toss and lost it. You can hear it on air. I think there was a bit of skulduggery at the toss. Kumar Sangakkara knew he’d lost that first toss, but he saw Dhoni hadn't really heard him!”
