Ashes 2013: England won the fourth Test against Australia in Durham in spite of Alastair Cook's captaincy Saker and Flower knew the team were losing the Test largely because of the captain's approach but the tea interval came at the right time for England. The break allowed them to get behind closed doors and regroup. They came out with a different mindset. They had the intent to take wickets and try to bowl Australia out. Suddenly they started pitching the ball up, got some reverse swing somehow and it was a different game. Tim Bresnan took the big wicket of David Warner and then Stuart Broad bowled Michael Clarke and you sensed the whole momentum shift. Once Clarke was out Australia went from favourites to England winning inside four days. Then it was no longer about the captain's tactics. It was about the bowlers making it happen. England won the Test because of some fine bowling and some poor shot selection, not because of brilliant captaincy. Before the Test I criticised England for arrogance. I noticed a huge change in their attitude in Durham. Even a few people were saying hello out on the pitch and the interviews they gave during the game were completely different. Perhaps they got together and decided they had to change or it was the relief of retaining the Ashes in Manchester. Probably it was a combination of things but whatever the reason, they were a different bunch. For Australia the result was very disheartening. When you look back they would have won in Manchester if it was not for the rain and in Durham they got themselves into a winning position but could not finish it off. Some of the players did not have the bottle under pressure to handle the furnace out in the middle, the pressure of international cricket when the game is on the line. There are a few justifiable question marks over a few members of the Australian side. I reckon some of the players have one more chance to get it right in the fifth Test at the Oval. Australia have to remember how to win. Getting into winning positions is only part of the job. It is that final step of crossing the line that matters. When you are on a bad run you lose that knack of winning. It is always hard to close a Test match out regardless of the situation. It takes nerve and bottle. It is a test of character. It is about having a calm, clear mind and knowing what to do in that situation. When things are not going well you need to find a way to stop the momentum and get back into the game. That takes experience and unfortunately there are guys in the side who are inexperienced. They have not played a lot of first-class cricket let alone international cricket. The intensity at international level is completely different to first-class cricket. Also England have a quality bowling attack so there are no freebies when they get on a roll. At the Oval their personal pride and careers are on the line. It is also an opportunity to look at players before the next series starts at the Gabba in November. There is a lot to at stake. I feel for my mate Michael Clarke. When things are going badly you can sense the expectation that if he gets out the opposition think they will knock Australia over. It is quite hard for him to deliver all the time, especially when the pitches are nipping about a bit. I know Durham will have hurt him. Rightly so, Australia were in a position to win. Hopefully the Australian players will remember how it felt and never want to be in that situation again. Hopefully that inspires them to come out at the Oval next week and rediscover the winning feeling to set up the return bout in Australia.
