England 2023

In 2023, England's cricket performance was not as good as some fans may claim. They lost against Africa and drew against New Zealand in ODIs and Tests. They did win against Bangladesh in an ODI series, but lost in a T20 series against them. They had a moral victory against Australia, but also drew against New Zealand in a T20 series. They beat New Zealand in an ODI series, but only won against Ireland in a rain-affected series. In the World Cup, they finished 7th with only 3 wins, and then lost in series against the West Indies. Overall, they had 19 wins and 23 losses in 2023. Has England really been that good this year?
