Former England captain Michael Vaughan has launched a fierce critique of Pakistan’s cricket team, calling them “the worst Pakistan side” he has ever seen. Vaughan’s remarks came after Pakistan’s crushing defeat by an innings and 47 runs in the first Test against England in Multan. Despite a solid first-innings total of 556, Pakistan were overwhelmed by England’s brilliance, as the visitors took a 1-0 lead in the three-match Test series.
In an unprecedented turn of events, Pakistan set an unwanted record, becoming the first team in Test history to lose by an innings after posting over 550 runs in their first innings. England responded in style, declaring at a remarkable 823/7, maintaining a high run rate of over five per over and completely dominating the match.
England’s disciplined bowling attack and clear tactical approach exposed the large gap between the two sides. Despite the pitch initially seeming favorable for batting, Pakistan’s second innings collapse was stark—managing only 220 runs, handing England an innings and 47-run victory.
