Australian fast bowler, Mitchell Johnson, has urged the bruised and battered Kangaroos to be at their best in the fifth and final One Day International against England, at Old Trafford, today, if they are to get some of the lost pride before heading
home.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Queensland-c834 insisted on Monday that his team was determined to finish the disastrous tour on a high, by snatching
at least one victory, at Manchester.
"We definitely need to go out there and look to win. The goal for this series was to win all our games, but it hasn't worked out that way," the Queenslander told
Sky Sports News on the eve of the fifth One Day International against Ashes rivals, England.
“We're going into this game with confidence. We're not letting the score bother us and we've just got to go out there and do our best,” he added further.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 side, enjoying a winning streak of nine ODIs. They lost the opening one-dayer of the series at Lord’s by 15 runs, before losing the second ODI by six wickets,
and the fourth by eight.
The mighty Aussies were lucky enough that the third fixture of the itinerary, at Edgbaston, Birmingham, was washed out due to rain, otherwise they might have been sweating over salvaging their World Number one status, as a 5-0 series whitewash of Kangaroos
would have allowed the Poms to dethrone them at the top of the rankings.
The tourists also faced a huge blow on Monday, as pacer http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Watson-c2558 were sent home with calf injuries.
The Queenslander said that the injured duo will be missed at Old Trafford; however, he was confident the players at hand will provide cover for them, and help the mighty Aussies win at least one game before packing the bags.
"It's a pretty big blow obviously with the experience of those two guys," said Johnson.
"They will be missed... But it's something we can work with as well. We've got a very talented squad that we've got over here," he added.
