It8217;s been an unbelievable year for England: Bresnan

To be No 1 in two out of three competitions 8212; we are not in a bad place really,are we,especially in Test cricket,which is the pinnacle, Bresnan was quoted as saying by 8216;The Daily Telegraph8217;.

I think the way we8217;ve played this year has been fantastic but we are still looking to improve and churn out results, he added.

England managed to end the tour of India on a high by winning the lone Twenty20 match on Saturday.

The team has had a memorable year,retaining the Ashes and whitewashing India in all three formats of the game earlier this year. The 0-5 loss to Mahendra Singh Dhoni8217;s men in the return ODI series earlier this month was perhaps the lone disappointment for them.

Bresnan said among the most cherished moments of the year was winning the Ashes and being presented with the ICC World Test Championship mace after England beat India 4-0.

We8217;ve had a lot of good times over the past year. It8217;s tough to single one thing out but it has been an unbelievable year, he said.

To see your hard work over a number of years come to fruition 8212; and gaining No.1 Test status 8212; was fantastic. It was something we set our sights on four years ago and we achieved our goal, he added.

We are still looking to improve all aspects of our cricket. This is a chance to recharge the batteries and the lads are looking forward to it. The last year has been quite intense for us.
