England coach Andy Flower is the most happy man in this world after the team has managed to thrash Australia in the finals to become the champions of the Twenty 20 World Cup.

Cape Town, Jan 9 : England coach Andy Flower has warned middle-order batsman Ian Bell, saying that he must show that he can produce innings of brilliance on a more regular basis to repay the investment made in him.

Bell had been struggling with his form in the recent months, but has made vital contributions in the tour of South Africa.

“We''re looking for him to make consistent and medium to long-term contributions and not just nip in with a couple of scores. These have been fine contributions, but we''re looking for a lot more from him. England invested a lot with Ian Bell and this is some of him paying England back,” The Guardian quoted Flower, as saying.

London, Sep 27 : England’s team director Andy Flower has said that he would definitely not recall Sri Lankan batsman Angelo Mathews to the crease when asked if he supported skipper Andrew Strauss’ compassionate decision to recall Mathews.

Flower softened the blow with some praise for Strauss, describing the captain as “a good man who I trust completely.”

Speaking after England''s historic win over Australia at Lord''s, Flower also revealed that an injured Pietersen had not yet ruled himself out of the series.

"No, that''s not the case at all, definitely not. It''s a medical decision that''s got to be made. Kev is seeing a specialist later this week and they''ll assess his achilles problem. We just get the expert advice and take it from there," The Guardian quoted Flower, as saying.

London, May 13 : All rounder Paul Collingwood insists that England’s cosy club is history and has been abolished under coach Andy Flower’s leadership.

“We’re rubbish and we know we are,” The Sun quoted Flower as saying, adding that England will be among the rank outsiders when they host the World Twenty20 this summer.

Speaking after his team’s six-wicket loss to the West Indies on Sunday, Flower said the plain fact is “England are poor at Test cricket, inconsistent in 50-over games and utterly hopeless at Twenty20.”

Jamaica (West Indies), Feb. 9 : England cricket team coach Andy Flower has said that he is ready to wield the axe on under-performing players in the wake of the First Test defeat against the West Indies.

But we will learn from it and come out stronger for the second Test in Antigua on Friday," Flower was quoted, as saying.
