Vaughan began patiently before hitting out in style on Sunday

Vaughan was man of the series as Zimbabwe were swept 4-0, with 211 runs at an average in excess of 100.

He said: "I realise I need to improve my one-day stats. Hopefully I can take this form into Test series in South Africa and the seven one-day games.

"It was a convincing series win. The boys did well in different situations."

Vaughan said the youngsters who had filled in for some notable absentees had acquitted themselves well.

He said: "It was a tour where we gave opportunity to a few players and they have come in and done a very good job.

"It makes the selectors' job a little bit harder because we are producing a good pool of players."

Zimbabwe captain Tatenda Taibu said: "We are not quite there yet. We need a bit of experience and the more games we play the better we become.

"We are just getting individual performances on the day but we have to play good cricket for 100 overs and we have to get it together in a game and we really haven't done that and really have to work on that.
