http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 to replicate the performances of the Australian team – Cricket News Update
Samit http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Huzefa-Mohammed-Patel-c63657, the England all-rounder feels that the English team have the ability to retain their number one Test ranking for a long period of time and wants his team to match the heights that the Australian team achieved in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

Arab Emirates.
Patel has recently cemented his place in the English limited overs team and as a result of this, he has been called up for England’s upcoming Test series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758. The left arm spinner, who is handy with the bat, wants to make an impression in the
longer version of the sport.
"I see myself developing in the longer form of the game. Being around the Test squad gives you more confidence," Patel expressed.
England has proven to be the best Test team in the world but not all cricket analysts are convinced of their ability to counter the spin-friendly wickets of the sub-continent. If they are to emulate the Australian side that eclipsed the top position for
a decade, they have to win in Sub-continent conditions.
Patel is of the opinion that England must show more consistency if they want to go down in the annals of cricket history as a brilliant unit. He believes that the most striking aspect of the Australian team under http://www.senore.com/Cricket/RT-Ponting-c2377 was the fact
that they were equally good in all conditions and maintained their high standards for a long period of time.
The all-rounder said, “Yes, we're the No 1 Test team in the world, but we want to be there for a long time. Things are going to get tougher and a lot more will be expected of us. It's not just about being there for three weeks or a year. We want to be remembered
for being there for a long, long time like the Aussies were."
