Steven Finn says England will rise for key moments in Ashes series On the attack: Steven Finn sends down some practice deliveries at a nets session at the SCG on Tuesday. England quick Steven Finn believes his side's ability to overcome adversity and deal with pressure was the difference between the two teams during the Ashes series earlier this year. The 3-0 series win to England may not have been a true reflection of how close Australia came in the five-Test series in the UK, but England's ability to swing momentum in their favour during pivotal moments of a match proved costly for Michael Clarke's men. Finn, who only played in the first Test of the Ashes Series during the English summer, believes England need to retain the same killer instinct in the pivotal moments of each Test if they are going to win their first back-to-back Ashes on Australian soil and their fourth consecutive Ashes series triumph since the late 1800's. "Australia actually played some good cricket in the summer," Finn said ahead of England's final tour match against a Cricket Australia invitational XI at the Sydney Cricket Ground. They put us under pressure, but we dealt with that really well. They're obviously going to be familiar with these conditions. Australia is a very hard place to tour - last time we were here, an England team hadn't won here for 24 years. So we know the task ahead of us. But if we deal with the pressure well, as we did last summer, and play our best cricket then I see no reason why we shouldn't win. While Australia's Ashes preparations have been hampered by off-field distractions relating to the opinions of past and present Australian captains, the Englishmen's main concern has been the wet weather limiting their time out on the field before the first Test at the Gabba next Thursday. However, there is also some concern over the fitness of wicketkeeper Matt Prior, who has been ruled out of Wednesday's final tour match in Sydney with a calf tear. Finn suggested England were confident Prior would be fit to line up in Brisbane on November 21, but if he's ruled out, reserve wicketkeeper Jonny Bairstow will take over the glove work. "We're still very hopeful that Matt will be fit for the first Test, but if he's not Jonny has a great opportunity in this game to put his hand up," Finn said. He's on this tour as the reserve wicket keeper for a reason, because he's very good at it. We saw him bat at No.6 and he showed glimpses in the summer as an excellent Test batsman. We know that he's a highly skilled performer and these four days are going to give him a great opportunity to show himself as a back-up keeper.
