Andy Flower determined to keep No 1 Spot - Cricket News Update
England's Head coach, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Andrew-Flower-c44362, is determined to keep hold of the No 1 Test position for a longer period of time, by focusing on the immediate tasks ahead.
The team has been in scintillating form over the past few years, which has led them to win back to back Ashes over fierce rivals http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746.
After beating Sri Lanka at home, it was the Indians who suffered badly, failing to match the formidable English line.
However, the England Head coach knows that all cricket nations will be looking to overpower his team but hopes that by achieving shot term targets, they can sustain their supremacy for a much longer time.
He was also adamant that one cannot think too much into the No1 spot, as it will eventually lead to complacency,
"Now we are ranked No.1, people will be very hungry to knock us off that perch. There is no doubt about that," said Flower.
"It is one thing being good for a short period of time - but having a side that delivers some special results and has some special times together that they will remember for the rest of their lives, that will be a much better thing to look back on than a
few victories here and there."
Many believe that the current crop of English players can dominate for years to come as they have the age and ability to defend their title, just like Australian and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 sides did in their respective eras.
However, the job is not easy, and the former Zimbabwean legend knows for a fact that the only way to   maintain such high standards is for players to show the same determination, which has enabled them to achieve such feet.
The coach is aware of the challenges ahead and hopes to be fully prepared for the upcoming tough tours of the subcontinent.
Following the conclusion of the Indian series, England will tour the Men in Blue followed by a Series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755.
Finally, there were words of praise from Flower for skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/AJ-Strauss-c964, who he believes has been a great leader and true servant for the team.
