In England's final Test of 2021, they were utterly humiliated by rivals Australia as they were beaten inside three days at the MCG by an innings and 14 runs, with Pat Cummins' side successfully retaining the urn with two games to spare.
One year later, England have been completely transformed by Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum and end 2022 having become the first team to ever whitewash Pakistan at home, sealing a 3-0 series win with victory in Karachi.
"It has been perfect," said Stokes. "It's been a great team effort to come here and win 3-0, very pleasing. It has definitely been the most fun. Just going out and enjoying every moment we can, whatever situation we find ourselves in."
