West Indies great Viv Richards backs England’s domination in Test cricket for a few more years - Cricket News Update
Former West Indies batting great, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Isaac-Vivian-Alexander-Richards-c64548, believes that Andrew Strauss led England Test team will stay at the top for a few more years as they are currently one of the best Test team out there.
While talking to BBC Sports, Richards said, “England are well led by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/AJ-Strauss-c964 and this is a team that has the potential to create a legacy. They have done their homework and found a solid wicket-taking bowling unit which is of vital importance at this
level."
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750, beating them by 4-0 in a Test whitewash, stamping their domination in the longest version of the game.
The http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 legend, however, said that to be at the top, England would have to win away matches in order to prove their superiority and enforce their reign.
He insisted that the Poms would have to improve their Test record in countries like Pakistan and India, where they have not been that successful and in doing so they will ultimately create their own legacy and stand among the former great teams, who have
ruled the world.
Richards, who was part of West Indies’ all-conquering outfit, which ruled the world of cricket as the side did not lose a single Test series from 1980 to 1995, said that England need to win almost everywhere in the world to equalize the status that was
once enjoyed by West Indies and recently by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746.
"You don't necessarily have to win, drawing a series can be a good result. It's like football where away from home, a point is just as vital. It is not just getting it done at home, it is going to places like India and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 and getting a result,” said
Richards in his interview.
England recently had a poor show against Pakistan where they lost by 3-0 in the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758, putting a serious question mark on their future as the top team in Test cricket.
