http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 looking to dominate the world of cricket once again – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MJ-Clarke-c1978, the Australian skipper in Tests and ODIs, is motivated to restore the dominance of his country in international sport and wants the Aussies to be the number one ranked team in all the formats of the game once again.
The Kangaroos remained the undisputed champions of world cricket from late 1990s till the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/RT-Ponting-c2377, is considered to be one of the greatest
units in the history of the game.
However, since the retirement of some of the all-time greats, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Jason-Neil-Gillespie-c66461 and many more, the Baggy Greens are not quite the same force.
Clarke and company are presently the number one ranked ODI team of the world but are placed at third in Tests and hold the sixth spot in T20 rankings.
The Australian captain knows that his side has been doing well in the 50-overs format but understands that the Kangaroos need to deliver the goods on regular basis.
"We've been the number one ODI team in the world for a while now but we need to continue to raise the bar. I think our cricket of late in the shorter form hasn't been as consistent as we would like,” http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Clarke-c51120 said.
While talking about the upcoming series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013, the Aussie captain expressed that it will be the beginning of the mission to become the superior team on the globe once again.
Clarke is of the opinion that Test cricket remains the ultimate level of the game and no team can dominate the international sport without doing well in the longest format.
The middle-order batsman added, "I think once we get on the plane it's probably the start of a two-year journey for this Australian team, whether it be the one-day team, the Test team or the Twenty20 team, to have a lot of success and get back to being the
number one in all forms of the game."
