London, May 17 (IANS) England cricket team's director Andy Flower doesn't want to rest on his laurels and wants his boys to improve following his side's World Twenty20 triumph.'There is still a lot of room for improvement for us in all sectors of the game and in all three forms of the game,' Flower was quoted as saying by The Guardian.England defeated Australia by seven wickets at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados, to lift the World Twenty20 trophy.Flower feels that England must improve and insisted the World Twenty20 triumph can stand them in good stead.'I think one of the greatest things that will come from this win is the self-belief that it will create in our dressing room. I don't think that could be a veneer thing, self-belief. It's borne of hard work and the guys have put in the hard work, both the support staff and the players, and now it's starting to bear fruit,' he said.Flower had some great words for captain Paul Collingwood.'The guys have played a superb brand of the game, very attacking. They've showed a lot of intelligence and nous, and adapted very well to different conditions. Collingwood led the side very well. He brought some of that Twenty20 experience from the IPL, and he used that to mould a very effective bowling attack into something that restricted sides, attacked at the right times, defended at the right times and were promptly a step ahead of the opposition in a lot of instances,' he said.
