‘We have come here to win the Ashes’ - Travis Head determined of Australia's comeback in final Ashes Test at The Oval

After winning the first two Tests of the ongoing Ashes 2023, Australia have lost a bit of momentum, losing the third match and playing very poor cricket in the fourth Test in Manchester. However, rain came to their rescue as Day 5 was washed out and with that, the visiting team managed to retain the Ashes. However, flamboyant batter Travis Head is not happy with the draw and wants to win the final game of the series for Australia to stamp their authority on English soil.

Notably, the 29-year-old did accept that the team did not play to their potential in the last match and thus, wants it to change at The Oval. He added, saying that the boys shouldn’t be thinking about that match at all and stay positive in order to bounce back in the fifth Test and win the series by a comfortable margin.

“The feeling around it was yes, we have got away with one, but ultimately we have come here to win the Ashes and we have gone a huge way to doing that. We played really nice for three Test matches, maybe not played the best week last week, but if we can shut that out and think about what we did well for the first three Test matches, it will put us in good stead for this week,” Head was quoted as saying by India Today.

Meanwhile, speaking about retaining the Ashes, Head stated that the team didn't celebrate much after retaining the Ashes as a draw didn't motivate them much. Hence, he stated that his teammates will come all guns blazing to win the fifth Test and then celebrate their success.

“It is mixed emotions because you would love to win a Test match to retain them and hopefully this week we can win a Test match to do it. A draw is a different feeling, no matter what the situation, but there was no real massive elation because we could see the situation coming,” Head added.
