The ashes of 2010: Matt Prior refuses to get swept away by successful England in Australia

"You be careful that you do not fall into the trap of too back - tap too soon", he said, he was prepared to play as a drummer for expert-Steve Davies behind will stem - match three-day against Victoria, starting at the CWM of tomorrow.

"We played"; the tour well alley so far - but it is in the past now.

"We are 1-0 up. It is fantastic. We have to make sure we go up 2-0. »

Therefore there are only 16 months as England went to Headingley in the ashes 2009 with vibration positive similar ringing in the ears.

But on the morning of the review of the fourth, there was a noise was when they were woken up at 4: 30 pm by an alarm of fire in the hotel team.

Before then succumbed to spasm back just before the start of the game - and even if it has not prevented him angels, England was overthrown inexpensively on how to defeat of sleeves for three days.

They recover at the famous rivet the ashes at the Brit Oval later by two weeks.

But before has not forgotten what happened to Leeds. It warns "you can fall into a trap if you start the future too far".

"In 2009 while the ashes, a game we probably have too far to come was certainly the Headingley match.

"We suddenly were 102 all out - and it is playing on."

"We have learned that our lesson."

"In the past we played good and the very next play cricket played fairly poor cricket.

"If you want to win big series you regularly play... and never take your foot off the gas."

"You cannot have a great game and a bad game."

Flower is convinced of what England won't get swept away on a tide of expectations on our laurels.

But before adding: "this is why the danger would be"oh, we're 1-0 up, we can win the ashes".".

"All these comments start flooding in and it is tempting to start thinking like that. But you should protect themselves against it. »

None of the above takes brightness of sleeves for second test of England's victory at the Adelaide - oval, as flowers, Prior believes England approached perfection.

"It probably proud moment for me field cricket, the last day in Adelaide.

"It was quite the perfect game." But as Andy said, it has nothing to do if go us to the next game and throw the lead we have. »

It seems that the Australia were thrown into a State of confusion by their low finishing to the drawn first test, then their miserable performance in Adelaide.

Even there was a whimsical tide of public opinion behind an unlikely return by Shane Warne, four years after his retirement, the age of 41.

Squad home for the WACA is due will be announced tomorrow - and even without Warne, there may be several changes.

England have been careful to avoid commenting on tour all opposition.

But before, said: "If you cut and much change, can play to their individual spots rather than play for the team. »

England will have to make an impairment of their camp winners, thanks to Stuart Broad stomach injury.

Flower has hinted that he already knows that Chris Tremlett, Frédéric Ajmal and Tim Bresnan replace Broad in Perth - and informed consensus is that it will be height seamer Surrey, a field still recognized for additional rebound.

All three will have their chance to impress for three days, however, as the rest England established frontline attack.

Before believes that one of them will be proud to England.

Comparing Tremlett and broad, he said: "photography is evident, especially the height and the bounce, they get.

"But one of our guys in the team is no longer able to play this role and do a very good job for England."

"All have different skills and different attributes.

"Anyone who comes into that XI, we support 100% - and I'm sure he'll do very, very well.

"They all their day and very heavy ball Bowl can be very fast.

"Tremlett, with its height and the rebound can be very, very clumsy sometimes. When it gets right it is very hard work.

"Ajmal areas it hits, it is always asking questions of drummers. It is very good with reverse swing. »
