Sanjay Manjrekar took the criticism a little too personally, decided to remind Vaughan of England's lacklustre past in major tournaments, he wrote, "Not forgetting at all. It’s despite the strange selections that they won. Short term success is never a good indicator. Just one ICC title for a team that played its first international in 1877 tells you something."

Sanjay Manjrekar continued saying, "Also SL that England faced in SL was the weakest its ever been, and India, well, 4-1 was a flattering scoreline for England, you know that as well as I do.  Long term sustained success is a true reflection of a great team. Let’s see what the future holds for England."

Sanjay Manjrekar is known to not shy away from debates and arguments on Twitter and this was a prime example which shows Manjrekar holding fort on his opinion.
