Andy Flower has vowed to atone for England’s whitewash in the Ashes after hitting out at their shambolic performance in Australia. Flower is seething over the surrender and is intent on correcting their failings after the 281-run defeat in the final Test at Sydney. Flower added a slightly uncomfortable caveat that England supporters may need to be patient, such is the apparent remedial work necessary, before results improve. Asked if he felt angry after England had folded to defeat at the SCG well inside three days, Flower said: “Yes, in a word. I’m glad Alastair (Cook) is as well. So we should be. This has been a bad loss.” There will doubtless be an outcry in some quarters, and demands for heads like Flower’s to roll following such a miserable campaign – after England arrived in Australia hoping for a fourth successive Ashes series win. But he knows he has the backing of new England and Wales Cricket Board managing director Paul Downton, and intends to work closely with him to identify which changes are needed.
