Australia didn't dwell on Gabba win and are preparing for England fightback, Michael Clarke writes Clarke knows Australia must back up their Gabba win in Adelaide. STEVE Waugh called one of his books "Never Satisfied" and I feel the same way. Our first Test win at Brisbane's Gabba was fantastic because of the aggressive, positive way we played and we intend to run with that confidence and momentum when the second Test starts in Adelaide on Thursday. But for all the joy of that wonderful victory a quick look at the stats brings a far more sobering reality. We have won just one of our last 10 Tests. That is unacceptable for any Australian team. Conversely it was England's first loss in 14 Tests, which highlights the quality of the opposition we will be up against in Adelaide. Our aim has always been to become number one in all three forms of the game and we're a long way from that at the moment. As such our victory celebrations in Brisbane were relatively subdued. Winning just one Test in a series doesn't mean a thing if you don't back it up. Given the ordinary year we've had we have no reason to brag or gloat. We have to play great cricket like we did in Brisbane consistently at home and away. A great sadness has descended over the team in recent days. We feel deeply for our former teammate Marcus North following the death of his elder brother Lucas in a car accident. Marcus is very much a part of our cricket family and I will be wearing a black arm band on Thursday as a sign of support for Marcus and his family during this difficult time. In moments like this you realise that cricket is only a game but it brings an enormous amount of joy to millions of people around the world. As such we feel privileged to be playing the first Test at the newly redeveloped Adelaide Oval in front of sell-out crowds. It has been transformed from idyllic cricket ground to modern stadium but still retains some its character with the grassed hill, Morton Bay figs and old scoreboard at the northern end. We will also be playing on a drop-in wicket for the first time in Adelaide but it looks as though it will be very similar to most other pitches I've played on here over the years. Adelaide can be one of the best places in the world to bat but there is usually a bit of encouragement for the bowlers and I expect the pitch to take turn later in the game. The conditions are going to be very different to the Gabba, where there was good pace and bounce. Certainly England will probably find Adelaide more to their liking and I'll be interested to see the balance of their attack. We have been practicing for the possibility of Monty Panesar coming into the England team as a second spinner, with coach Darren Lehmann throwing down left-arm orthodox deliveries at training. We have also been training to cover the possibility of Chris Tremlett remaining as a third seamer or Tim Bresnan returning to their side after recovering from a back injury. But our central focus is on us and what we have to do to ensure we are ready for an England team on the rebound in conditions more suited to them. Mitchell Johnson was outstanding in a man-of-the-match performance and was greatly helped by the pressure our bowlers applied as a unit, with Ryan Harris, Peter Siddle, Nathan Lyon and Shane Watson constantly threatening and ensuring no easy runs. There were also strong batting performances but that is part of our game we must improve. Most Test matches are won on the back of big first innings runs, particularly in Adelaide, and that is an area where we have lacked consistency. It happened again in Brisbane before Brad Haddin and Mitch Johnson put together a century partnership. There are few better places to play cricket than Adelaide so everyone should set themselves for a long innings. The rewards here can be fabulous if you make the most of your opportunities.
