We are at our best with backs to the wall

Shane Warne has penned his latest article for Times Online. In it he talks about how this great Australian side performs well under pressure, and expects them to bounce back hard. Quite prophetic in that it was written before Australia's recent victory over a nervous England. I like this reflection:

We are not in uncharted territory here. I remember my second tour, in 1997, when we lost all three one-day matches and the first Test. We eventually won the Ashes series 3-2, and England’s second win was in the dead game at the Oval. Then, two years later, we were all but out of the World Cup. We needed to win seven games in a row, but we did it with the help of a tied semi-final against South Africa.
