http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Andrew-Flower-c44362 all praise for the Pakistan team – Cricket News Update
The Director of England cricket team, Andy Flower, feels that his team must improve its skill level in Asian conditions if it is to do well in the upcoming tours of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 and India, admitting that England was outplayed by Pakistan, in all departments
of the game.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/United-Arab-Emirates-c3033 (UAE) and they look good to beat the English team in the last match as well.
England is currently the number one ranked Test team of the world and they came into the series as favourites. However, their lack of technique against quality spin bowling has made the English batsmen look ordinary, resulting in Pakistan winning the first
two matches.
If England is to be successful against Sri Lanka and India later this year, they have to work on their techniques to counter spin on Asian tracks. Albeit Pakistan has the world’s premier spinner in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Saeed-Ajmal-c87859, Sri Lanka and India also boast quality spin
bowlers who can expose the batsmen like their Pakistani counterparts.
Flower said while warning his team, “This is a great challenge for all of us. We've got another Test, a one-day series, a couple of Twenty20 games and then we've also got Test series in Sri Lanka and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 before the year is out.”
Pakistan has been doing well over the past one year, and it is a side that cannot be ignored in all three formats of the game. Under Misbah, Pakistan cricket has re-emerged as a formidable team.
Former Zimbabwean captain admitted that Pakistan played much better cricket as compared to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 in the first two Test matches and was all praise for the Green Shirts. Flower feels that Pakistan cricket is only going to improve from here.
"It's also right to praise the Pakistan team for what they have done. They beat us fair and square. They have beaten us properly in two matches. They have fought hard and worked hard at their game and in a way I'm very happy for them. It's good for their
cricket and it's good for their country," he added.
