Andrew Flintoff, man of the greatest years in England, Test cricket has hit last push continued excellence in the five days of cricket, the team believes that 2011 is a dress better than the 2005 side, who won six series in a row, and again the ashes for the first time in 18 years.
On the current run of form in England has completed a 2-0 series against the current No. 1 test team in the world, India, and if they maintain or improve margins two matches in the other two test series at Edgbaston The Oval, they will even go to the top of the world.
In estimating Flintoff, however, that the transfer has already been reached. "England has the best team in the world already," he said. "Not only is the ranking, but also a strength. They got it all. I do not see why that can not manage for a long time. They are strong enough players to do it. Australia and the West Indies and England did should be able to do so in the coming years. "
The crucial difference between 2005 and 2011 is the width of the team that England is able to invoke. Six years ago, England was the first XI is fantastic, with players like Flintoff and Simon Jones peaking at just the right time in their careers. But they had no reserves to maintain their ascent to the summit. Jones was limping with a game of ash back, and never played again, while the subsequent loss of Marcus Trescothick, Michael Vaughan and Flintoff himself for long periods led to a long slide back toward mediocrity.
"This is a way better than we had in 2005," said Flintoff. "The strength and depth is incredible. In 2005 we had 11 players who had a few memorable week, and played their best period, but we never played together again."
Over the past 12 months, Britain has shown a tremendous pack mentality, especially when it comes to their fast bowlers. When Stuart Broad was injured in the ashes, it was replaced by Chris Tremlett beautiful, who had risen to become leader of the attack at the end of the recent series in Sri Lanka. So when he suffered a back spasm on the eve of the Trent Bridge Test, Tim Bresnan - another reserve Ashes - stepped in to seal the match with a 5 to career-best 48
"This site has a team and they are so strong and out of the face," said Flintoff. "We have seen the replacement players without blinking, and it made a difference in performance and what happened for a while now.
"There are no weak links. They play with confidence and arrogance that comes with being the best. They covered all departments and if someone gets hurt, then another comes along and did a great job."
