Hussain eyeing for series win Staff and agencies - 19 August 2000
Nasser Hussain took off from the England's celebrations of winning over West Indies at the fourth Test at Headingley, Leeds to concentrate on winning the fifth and final Test at the Oval which starts on August 31. Even a draw in the last Test would enable them to win a series against the tourists for the first time since 1969. Hussain believes that all the hard work of six Tests this summer and a Triangular One-Day series title triumph shall culminate in the outcome of the final Test at the Oval against the West Indies. ``We're playing some good cricket and it's an improvement, but the only thing we're going to be judged by is series victories, which is the next stage on", he said. England's innings and 39 runs victory, one of the most outstanding wins, the first time since 1966 they have beaten the tourists by such a margin, was only the 16th time ever that a Test has been settled inside two days and their first since a ten wicket victory over South Africa at the Oval in 1912. The win was made easy thanks to Craig White's 5 for 57 on the first day, man of the match Michael Vaughan's 76, Darren Gough's 4 for 8 in 29 balls and Andy Caddick's 5 for 5 in 15 balls. Meanwhile, West Indies captain Adams admitted that the team has to restore its fading spirits before the fifth Test. © CricInfo Ltd
