Andy Flower eager to restore England pride

Andy Flower wants England to win the remaining two Ashes Tests to restore some pride having already relinquished the urn to Australia.

Andy Flower is hoping that England can restore some of their lost pride by winning the remaining two Tests of The Ashes series.

The tourists have already lost the urn after a 150-run defeat in Perth saw Australia race into an unassailable 3-0 lead to regain The Ashes at the fourth time of asking.

"I think it is fair to say with the bat we have underperformed badly," Flower told Sky Sports News. "We've only got one Test century to six or seven of theirs and that's from a young all-rounder playing in his second Test match.

"We haven't handled the pace that well and I think the pace of [Mitchell] Johnson has been really well backed up by [Ryan] Harris and [Peter] Siddle. They've been very accurate and skilful. And their off-spinner has bowled nicely too.

"We've got two Test matches left in the series and I am absolutely hungry to do well in those games. That is as far as I'm looking at the minute."

The fourth Test gets underway on Boxing Day in Melbourne.
