Flower says England not satisfied, wants series victory in fifth Ashes Test

MELBOURNE - England coach Andy Flower has said his team is not satisfied with just retaining the Ashes urn and will be determined to claim a series victory in the fifth Test in Sydney.

A day after making history with their innings and 157-run demolition of Australia at the MCG, Flower said it was vital that the team re-focus for the final Test at the SCG from January 3.

“It’s far too early to feel satisfied,” Fox Sports quoted Flower, as saying.

England leads the series 2-1 and it is the first time since the 1986-87 season that they have retained the Ashes in Australia.

Flower said the celebrations in the MCG sheds on Wednesday afternoon were memorable and he noted some players had been conspicuous by their absence on Thursday morning at the team hotel.
