\u201cA win is a win, and England should celebrate, but NO Test cricket fans should be celebrating what we have seen for 2 days .. #Ashes,\u201d wrote Vaughan on his \u2018X\u2019 account on Saturday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The 10mm of grass left on the pitch resulted in 36 wickets falling in six sessions at the MCG, as England ended a 14-year wait for a Test match victory in Australia with a four-wicket win. England dismissed Australia for 132 in their second innings to set themselves a chase of 175 to win, which they completed after losing six wickets.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Meanwhile, England\u2019s fast bowling great Stuart Broad said the win in Melbourne came too late to affect the result in the Ashes. Broad added that the four-wicket triumph would resonate more with travelling fans and the players themselves than with England\u2019s supporters back home.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI think it (the reaction) will be slightly mixed. I look over to the English fans now, and they\u2019ll have that emotion of being here and seeing England win away, singing the songs, having a few drinks with their friends. I think it will be positive in Australia and for the English fans who travelled here.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201c(But) I\u2019m sure there would be a sense back home that it\u2019s too little, too late in a way, in the fact that the Ashes have gone in Adelaide last week. And if Australia weren\u2019t 3-nil up, would Pat Cummins have played? Would Australia have played a stronger side?<\/p>\r\n\r\n
