Hugh worked with the ECB for 16 years and is very much a part of the reason for some of the success English cricket has had,"Flower said."He is and excellent man and will be sorely missed by the playing group and certainly by me,who works closely with him.His post will need to be filled by a man of equal calibre."Asked if he could be that man,the former Zimbabwe batsman said: "I don't look too far ahead with regard to my won personal situation and now have the challange of an away Ashes."Meanwhile Morris said either Strauss of Flower would be a good successor.
