Since the new management came over in April, Michael Vaughan believes there has been a tremendous turnaround, and he can’t recall an England team eight-month stretch that was better.

In simple words, they have won the T20 World Cup and nine out of ten Test matches. In Test cricket, they have defeated New Zealand, the current world champions, India, who outperformed them the year before, South Africa after a comeback, and now Pakistan, where it is extremely difficult to capture 20 wickets.

Because of the aggressive style they performed, they didn’t simply accomplish that; they completely outplayed them. They have generated enthusiasm and are playing Test cricket in a way that has never been done before. It appears to be a gang of boys playing in the street.

Michael Vaughan Hails England Men’s Cricket Team

Michael Vaughan posted on Twitter after the English team’s win today, declaring the last 7 months of English men’s cricket as the best of all time and he’s more than happy to argue over his point. The former England skipper wrote:

“I will argue the last 7 months of English men’s cricket is the best of all time .. 9 out of 10 Test wins playing a brand we have never witnessed before and a WC win .. more than happy to argue my point over a pint .. #PAKvsENG”

England Clean Sweeps Pakistan

On Tuesday, December 20, at the National Stadium in Karachi, the third and final Test of the series was won by England by an impressive eight-wicket margin against Pakistan. This is the first time a team has completely dominated Pakistan during a home Test series.

For the visitors, Day 4 was really a formality because the Test had already been decided the day before. Ben Duckett (82*) and Ben Stokes (35*) helped the visitors cross the finish line in under an hour on Tuesday with 55 runs required, capping off a successful series.

Babar Azam (78) and Agha Salman’s half-centuries helped Pakistan, who batted first in the match, produce a respectable total of 304. (56). England reached 354 in their first innings thanks to Harry Brook’s superb century, as well as half-centuries from Ollie Pope (51) and Ben Foakes (64).

The guests later bowled the hosts out for just 216 runs in their second innings, with rookie Rehan Ahmed scooping up a wicket. Stokes and Company completed the series sweep after reaching the set goal of 167 in 28.1 overs.
