England deserve to be No 1 team, says Michael http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Clarke-c51120 – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750, and achieving the No 1 slot on ICC's International Test rankings. He credited the English bowlers for the mega success. However, he has
reiterated that the Aussies are struggling every nerve to maintain their top rank in ODI cricket and regain it in the Test format as well.
Clarke is currently leading his team in a 5-match ODI series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758. The Kangaroos have won the two 50-over games played so far.
The Aussie captain, whose team poses to be the top rival of England in Test cricket, has presented hearty congratulations to the Poms for their outstanding efforts to translate their long-cherished dream into a reality. He argued that the English deserve
to be No 1 team as they possess abundant talent and passion.
Talking to the media, Clarke said, “England's played some really good cricket over a long period of time and they deserve to be there. I think we'll stay focused on the job at hand but good luck to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013, that's great for them."
However, he told, “Full credit to them but we've got a lot more important things to worry about from our side. We're working hard to stay No.1 in one-day cricket and to get back up that table in Test cricket.”
Commenting on the English bowling line-up, he stated, “England's bowling attack is the best in the world and they deserve to be ranked the best side in the world.”
Team England have convincingly managed to win the three matches of the npower Test series and wrenched the top slot from India. They finished the job in the evening of 13th August at Edgbaston, Birmingham, by winning the 3rd Test with a margin
of an innings and 242 runs.
Now, the next battle in International Test cricket will begin between England and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746, who will play the bilateral Ashes series.
As the Kangaroos have lost last two Ashes seasons, they are h**l-bent to win the coming one to take a leap towards regaining their lost pride in the 5-day format of the game.
