I think there'll be a result and if we play like we have done there's no reason why we can't win it from this position.

They [former England players] probably stopped believing, whereas a lot of players in the current team do not have that losing feeling.

To make a century against Australia under any circumstances is always special. It will be hard work but there is definitely ten Australian wickets for us.

We are not going to blow them away, the wicket is quite slow.

We've got to play to our potential, play at 100%, get all our players fit and ready to go and not put ourselves under too much pressure.

He is very laid-back person, but there is a steely side to him and that means he has the respect of the players.

The previous generation, such as Alec Stewart and Nasser Hussain, lost to Australia on many occasions.

I have worked hard trying to counter-act his plans. I am better for the experience, which is the great thing about playing the best side in the world.

The way the series has gone it's a great possibility it might be a very close game.
