England captain Andrew Strauss wishes to top the lessons learned Headingley preparation for Australia in the fifth Ashes Test.

England were beaten by an innings 80, and runs in the fourth test and win oval, the ballot box.

“We ensure that we are a good start,” said Strauss. “We learned a lesson, we are not for us.

“You have, for that entitlement to the above and that is why we were a little Headingley summits.”

The heavy loss to Australia at Leeds in England to victory in the “Lord’s at the series level at 1-1, meaning England must be a positive result at the fifth or ash, the tourist as holder.

In spite of the defeat of the fourth test, Strauss is of the opinion, England have reason to be confident before the match, which begins on Thursday.
“We have great confidence that we are 1-1. There is no reason for us negatively,” said Strauss.

“We early twice and we must once again.

“Confidence is very well in the team. During the coming week is a good time for us. The boys have disappeared, some cricket and everyone feels very current.”

England hope that with the return of talismanic Allrounder Andrew Flintoff, missed the Headingley because of a knee injury but was in net, what is his last test before being retired in the form of the game long.

“It’s the same story we have all series, we must ensure that OK, it is the morning, but the data is, although absolute,” said Strauss.

“This is a game heavily for him. It is his last test match and it will be a lot of confidence on the page that it is fit for play.

“I am delighted to return. It means, with a bang, and if it takes place within the framework of the vein, it has a good chance to be really good.”
As a result of Headingley, the focus has been on the Make-up of the English, with a great game, even at the reception of the non-race for Jonathan Trottmann Out-of-form Ravi Boparai.

“Jonathan is a man who has a lot of confidence, and is in great shape right now,” said Strauss.

“I remember when I started my first, I felt, with excellent shape and guide you, as the great distance, if you are not into the unknown, because you feel like if your time is the right time for you to play.

“There should be a good Wicket here and I feel confident, and it is a good job for us.”

Trott was selected for a middle way, so horrible was suspended at Headingley with Boparai, Ian Bell and Paul Collingwood, which operates 16 hours between them.

“At Headingley it does not as she would have liked, but now the chance to prove that for all the players are all good,” said Strauss.

“I have great confidence in Bell, Collingwood and Trott and for a big stage and show all the good you are as a player.”
Strauss, that he and coach Andy Flower always for the team to play, but it is certain that the choice - especially hats melon counters say that 20 Australian - would be better equipped to do the work.

“We have a number of difficult decisions for the team,” said Strauss.

“The test of the game is a must win game, you need bowling attack is capable of 20 branches and we need to judge what Wicket do what is good.

“There are some areas we need to think in the coming hours, but I am very satisfied with the opportunities we have in the team and it is the right of the bowling attack on the park.”

The oval is the ground where the processing of famous England Ashes in 2005.

Strauss has played this game, but has admitted one of the next game has been specially designed for him, as he is captaining the page, and the rest of the team, who have a chance to achieve four years.
“As captain, I suppose, is the greatest moment of my life in cricket,” said Strauss.

“The Oval Test in 2005 was a very similar situation, but I was not captaining the page. It is a great moment in my career, and it is I am particularly enthusiastic.

“This is a special occasion for us all, I hope the public behind us and it has the potential, one of the great game tests, each of us.”

Strauss said he was impressed by this series and Australia is fully aware that for each punish England slip-ups of the week.

“The Aussies have proven to be tough a nut to crack,” he says. “There are a lot of spirit in their camp.

“Guys have dug deep, although we have a headache. It is difficult to obtain, like Michael Clarke, Marcus North and Brad Haddin.

“It is always the case with the Australian team, if you want to hit, you have to be at the top right of your party. We do not expect any agreement of this test, they come upon us all arms full. “
