Being an ex-England manager, one that failed to qualify for the World Cup, is like being a dead politician.

I think England can go into the fourth Test buoyed by their performances already and are in a situation now where they have Australia on the rack, ... England can go on and win both matches.

I think England have matched them on a competitive level. I think Australia know that now, and the closer it gets that Australia can lose the Ashes, the more it will play on their minds.

I've never been one to look too far ahead since I came back into the England side and I'm not going to change that view.

He's a very special type of striker over there, there's not many players in England like him with that style, a target man with the strength he has on the ball. He brings other people into play because he's a special player.

I view every game I play for England as it could be my last, so I go out there and enjoy it. It's the only way I can approach it.
