Undaunted Chris Tremlett targets series victory

England paceman Chris Tremlett believes England can win the one-day international series against Australia, despite facing three more must-win games in order to achieve it.

After falling 3-0 behind in the series, England proved they have a stomach for the win-or-bust occasion - despite fears of a post-Ashes malaise - when they claimed a 21-run win in Adelaide on Wednesday.

That the victory came in front of 36,072 Australian fans, who were expecting to celebrate their national day by clinching the series, made England's victory even more laudable.

While Jonathan Trott's century and two wickets were the cornerstone of the success, England could rightly claim - for the first time in the seven-match series - that they outplayed their rivals in all departments.

It was a performance that Tremlett thinks can inspire a run of wins to snatch the series and put the seal on an already satisfying tour.

"It's always a big mountain to climb going 3-0 down, but we've always believed we are a good side and that we can contest against Australia," the Surrey bowler said. "If we can be solid in our batting and keep going well with our bowling there is no reason why we can't do it."

If England are to stay alive in the fifth match of the series in Brisbane tomorrow they will, however, have to play a spoiler's role. The match will act as a fundraiser for those affected by the floods that devastated the Queensland capital and its surrounding region earlier this month, and Australia's players would like to secure the series in Brisbane as an added act of goodwill.

While that may cast England into a slightly uncomfortable role in Sunday's game, the tourists have been proactive in their support of the flood victims during the tour with the players donating part of their match fees from the first Twenty20 international in Adelaide. Kevin Pietersen also raised more than Aus$25,000 by auctioning off some of the equipment he used during the successful Ashes campaign.
