England only looking at win insists Prior

ENGLAND are determined to finish what they started in South Africa and will be happy with nothing less than a series victory after the Wanderers Test.

Matt Prior yesterday warned there will be no hint of a "comfort zone" for Andrew Strauss' tourists, as they acclimatise to altitude again after three weeks at sea level in preparation for Thursday's final match of four.

Prior was not referring to the Highveld conditions when he said: "This is nowhere near a comfort zone. We didn't come here to draw a series; we came here to win one."

That much has been made clear publicly and privately by England since, for the second time in three Tests, they held on last week in Cape Town with nine wickets down to deny South Africa victory.

"The coach had a long chat with us this morning and was pretty adamant on that," added Prior. "We don't want to be the nearly men. We want to be guys that go back saying, 'we've had a fantastic winter – we won the one-dayers and we've won the Test series', not, 'we nearly won the Test series'."
