Ellyse Perry and the Southern Stars expect tough battle for Ashes glory in second one-day clash Ellyse Perry of Australia looks on as Sarah Taylor of England runs between the wickets during the first NatWest One Day International match between England and Australia at Lord's Cricket Ground. AUSTRALIAN strike bowler Ellyse Perry expects England to come out firing in tonights second one-day clash of the Ashes series. The Southern Stars defeated England in the first one-day match of the series at Lord's on Tuesday - a match the English conceded they should have won - and need to win just two of the remaining five games to retain the Ashes. Perry expected another fight tonight. "If you look at the history of the matches that we've played in the last few years, all of them have been very, very close,"" Perry said. Most of the time it could go either way. "It's going to be another really competitive match as we expect all the games in this series to be."" She said her side took confidence from its bowling performance at Lord's. "I think the second part of our bowling effort was fantastic in terms of not defending as many runs as we would have liked to have defended,"" she said. "Having said that, there's parts of the game we would have liked to have done better and we'll hopefully have the opportunity to do that."" English batter Sarah Taylor said despite the disappointment of Lord's, her side wouldn't be making major changes to its game plan. "We spoke about batsmen if they start their innings to get in and go big,"" Taylor said. I think it was only Charlotte (Edwards) that reached about 60-odd and myself included in that - falling onto that getting in but not going big (category). " (But) nothing too drastic, I think it was just one of those days."" Taylor is playing on her home pitch tonight. "I love batting on this wicket,"" she said. I know the likes of Holly (Colvin) and Arran (Brindle) love bowling on this wicket as well. A little bit of local knowledge doesn't go amiss. ""
