‘Ashes-winning’ England side yet to peak, says Strauss
By ANISaturday, January 8, 2011
SYDNEY - England captain Andrew Strauss has said that the Ashes-winning heroes are yet to reach their peak after meting out a 3-1 series thrashing to Australia.
“It is a very good achievement to come out here and win. But the majority of the team are going to be hitting their peak time in the next couple of years,” the BBC quoted Strauss, as saying.
With home Test series against Sri Lanka and India scheduled later this year, Strauss is determined that the side does not stand still and bask in their achievements of the last six weeks.
“We’ve always got to be thinking about how we can improve and get better and hopefully one or two guys will be sticking their hands up and saying ‘I can add something to this team as well’,” Strauss said.
“While I’m captain of the England side, you’re not doing your job if you’re not looking ahead to what’s coming up and trying to keep the guys improving and going forward,” he added. (ANI)
