Michael Vaughan praised England’s long-awaited Ashes win in Melbourne but struck a cautionary note over the health of Test cricket, insisting that a two-day finish at the MCG was nothing for fans to celebrate.
The Ben Stokes-led England registered a memorable four-wicket win against Australia in the fourth Test on Saturday. The visitors registered their first victory on the tour as the five-match series now stands at 3-1, with Australia already having pocketed the Ashes.
Cricketer-turned-commentator Vaughan has expressed his thoughts regarding the fourth Test. The former cricketer praised England's win but added that cricket fans should not celebrate after seeing a Test match ending in two days.
"A win is a win, and England should celebrate ... but NO Test cricket fans should be celebrating what we have seen for 2 days," Vaughan wrote on X.
