England have retained the Ashes in style by beating Australia in all departments, and by performing so well in Australia they have changed perceptions, writes Michael Vaughan in the Daily Telegraph. No longer is it a case of England could be the best in the world, but that they should be.
If you look at England then you can see Andrew Strauss going on for three or four years. The team can stay together for a long time and there is no great side for them to be fearful of. There is no gulf in class between No 3 in the world and No 1, which was the case when Australia were far better than anyone else
