“Morning Wasim” – England's Michael Vaughan gives epic reply to Wasim Jaffer, shares pic of Jos Buttler with T20 World Cup trophy
Former England captain Michael Vaughan gave an epic reply to ex-Indian cricketer Wasim Jaffer on Wednesday, March 15. This came after Jaffer roasted him following Jos Buttler and Co's 3-0 loss in the recently concluded T20I series in Bangladesh.
In a tweet post on Tuesday, Jaffer wrote:
“Hello @MichaelVaughan, long time no see #BAN vs ENG,” alongside a smirking face emoji.
The cricketer wore a Bangladesh jersey (edited) to roast Vaughan.
In response, Vaughan shared a picture of Jos Butter holding the T20 World Cup 2022 trophy, which they won by beating Pakistan in their summit clash last year.
He captioned the quote retweet:
“Morning Wasim ..”
Vaughan further gave a befitting reply to a Twitter user who asked him for a quote after Bangladesh’s whitewash against the visitors. He tweeted:
“They did .. But they are still world champions .. England seem to be very good at peaking for the World cups now .. it’s a good trait to have .. India should try and follow suit,” along with a thumbs-up emoji.
Bangladesh beat England by 16 runs to complete a 3-0 whitewash
Shakib Al Hasan and Co. beat England by 16 runs in the third T20I on Tuesday, March 14, and completed a 3-0 whitewash in the series.
Asked to bat, Bangladesh posted 158/2 in their allotted 20 overs, courtesy of Litton Das’ 73 off 57 and Najmul Hossain Shanto’s 47 off 36.
Meanwhile, Chris Jordan and Adil Rashid picked up a wicket apiece.
In response, Dawid Malan (53 off 47) and captain Jos Buttler (40 off 31) gave them a solid start after Phillip Salt’s early wicket. The visitors, however, suffered a middle-order collapse as Bangladesh restricted the visitors to 142/6.
For Bangladesh, Taskin Ahmed took a couple of wickets. Mustafizur Rahman, Shakib Al Hasan, and Tanvir Islam settled for a wicket apiece.
For the uninitiated, the hosts previously beat the visitors by six and four wickets, courtesy of a four-fer from Mehidy Hasan Miraz and a quickfire fifty from Shanto, in the first two T20Is, respectively.
Jos Buttler and Co. will next host New Zealand for four T20Is and as many ODIs in September.
