Pakistan aim for series win against England

MULTAN – Pakistan coach Bob Woolmer said Thursday his team would not rest on their laurels following their win in the first of three Tests against England.

“The Test was superb for a start. It is a great win for the team, but there is a lot of cricket left and the goal is to win the series,” Woolmer told AFP after his team’s 22-run win.England, playing their first Test after winning the Ashes series against Australia at home in September, were bowled out for 175 while chasing a 198-run target on Wednesday.Woolmer warned his team against complacency, saying England could strike back in the remaining matches.”That was only one game and we need to keep our feet on the ground,” he said.”England will play better.They have not done that in warm-up matches and perhaps (Michael) Vaughan will be fit for the second Test.”Vaughan missed the first Test here due to a knee injury.The Pakistani coach praised his bowlers for scripting a sensational victory after being under pressure for a major part of the match.- Nampa-AFPIt is a great win for the team, but there is a lot of cricket left and the goal is to win the series,” Woolmer told AFP after his team’s 22-run win.England, playing their first Test after winning the Ashes series against Australia at home in September, were bowled out for 175 while chasing a 198-run target on Wednesday.Woolmer warned his team against complacency, saying England could strike back in the remaining matches.”That was only one game and we need to keep our feet on the ground,” he said.”England will play better.They have not done that in warm-up matches and perhaps (Michael) Vaughan will be fit for the second Test.”Vaughan missed the first Test here due to a knee injury.The Pakistani coach praised his bowlers for scripting a sensational victory after being under pressure for a major part of the match.- Nampa-AFP
