England can dominate the longer form of the game for many years to come after humiliating India to become the top-ranked test nation, a slew of former leading players have said. Andrew Strauss's side won the third test at Edgbaston by an innings and 242 runs on Saturday to take a 3-0 lead in the four-match series and dethrone a shell-shocked India.
Former Australia spin great Shane Warne reckoned England could rival his nation's brilliant team of the late 1990s and early 2000s. "This current group of England players could become better than all those Australian players as a team and individuals. All the signs are good for England," he wrote in his Sunday Telegraph column. The Ashes series victory in Australia earlier this year was a major landmark and former England captain Michael Vaughan, who laid the groundwork for their current success when sealing the home Ashes series in 2005, is excited for the future.
