Collingwood says England is world’s No.1 Twenty20 team
By ANIMonday, January 10, 2011
MELBOURNE - England Twenty20 captain Paul Collingwood reckons that his 2010 Twenty20 World Cup-winning squad is the shortest form of the game’s world No.1 team.
England will be looking to stretch its world record-winning streak in Twenty20’s to eight matches when they face Australia in the opening match at the Adelaide Oval on Wednesday.
“I’d be surprised if we are not the No.1 team in the world [in Twenty20], because we have just won seven on the trot and we’ll break the record if we win another one,” the Sydney Morning Herald quoted Collingwood, as saying.
England had secured their first victory at an ICC limited-overs tournament with a crushing seven-wicket win against Australia in the Twenty20 World Cup final in the West Indies last year. (ANI)
