http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 to win back to back Ashes series – Cricket News Update
Under the captaincy of Strauss, the English team has won back to back Ashes series against arch rivals http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 in 2009 and then again in 2010-11. Such successes were unprecendented in England cricket's history, which has seen them dominated by Kangaroos.
Strauss, who relinquished the One Day International captaincy after the World Cup in 2011, is focusing entirely on beating the Aussies again. He is unsure who will be part of the squad and feels he cannot predict the future composition of the team.
Talking to the media yesterday, Straussy said, “Playing in back-to-back Ashes series would be a realistic goal. But I'm not going to say that is definitely what is going to happen. There's a lot of cricket to be played between now and then. We will see where
we are in 12 months, then another 12 months and go from there."
The England team visits the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755, starting from January 17th, and Levi is confident that his team can win.
He said, “I'm still motivated and excited about the challenges we have got ahead of us. As long as I'm motivated and playing well and feel like there is still space in the side for me then I want to continue."
The England side overtook http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Andrew-Flower-c44362, the England coach, should be commended for the hard work they have put in.
The 34-year-old South African born player took the captaincy baton from Pietersen in 2009 and since then England has been on the rise. The stylish left-handed batsman has played 89 Test, 127 ODI and 4 T20I games for the English so far.
Cricket analysts feel that the real test for Strauss’ men will be on the flat tracks of Asia, starting with their series against Pakistan. If they are able to win in these conditions, then they will further consolidate their No.1 position.
