England Have Got Some Big Problems: Michael Vaughan

While speaking to Fox Cricket, Michael Vaughan called England’s performance in the 3rd Test embarrassing. He also said that England have not managed to find any kind of consistency or skill in the Tests.

“England – they’ve got some big problems. That was embarrassing. They’re a group of players that pride themselves on competing and they’ve just not managed to find any kind of consistency or skill. They’ve not been able to manage this powerhouse of a team.

“The juggernaut started in Brisbane and they’ve not been able to stop the Australian juggernaut. This Test match team for quite a while has not been good enough”, Michael Vaughan said.

Vaughan also lauded Australia for their performance in the Test series. Vaughan also feels that Australia might also beat England in the next edition of the Ashes in 2023.

“They’ve not been focused enough on the Test match team, the focus has been on the white ball team and it delivered a world cup, but we’re not a good enough cricketing nation to take our eye off the ball of Test match cricket.

“I would say that with the group I’m seeing and the way they’re playing if they don’t beat England in 2023 I’d be amazed,” Vaughan further said.
