Durham: England pace bowler James Anderson believes his time on the sidelines during the one-day series against Australia can help him to stop Ricky Ponting's team claiming a seventh successive victory.
Anderson was rested for the fourth and fifth matches of the seven-game series after a hectic schedule which has seen some players contest two Test and One-day series and the World Twenty20.
Anderson and England head to South Africa for the Champions Trophy next week as the tight cricketing calendar continues but first up is one final One-day international at Durham on Sunday.
Victory for Australia would make England the first team to lose a One-day series 7-0 and Anderson believes the short rest has left him ready to lead the fightback.
Four wickets and a run out in the 111-run defeat at Trent Bridge on Thursday suggest the break did him good.
"It can be quite monotonous when you're just practising, playing, practising, playing all the time, and having a rest broke that up," Anderson said.
"Whenever you play a five-Test series, it's always going to make the season feel long, then when you've got seven ODIs at the end, it makes the schedule even more ram-packed.
"It has been a long summer, but that's what you have to expect as an international cricketer these days.
"The rest freshened me up a bit, body and mind, and when I joined up with the squad again I was really looking forward to the game.
"We're representing England and it's always a huge honour to do that every chance you get. But the rest was just long enough, I felt re-energised and I was really pleased with my performance in the field."
Anderson, meanwhile, has called for his team-mates to treat tomorrow's game as a one-off warm-up for the Champions Trophy rather than focus on recent results.
"Obviously we don't want to lose 7-0. There'll be a lot of pride to play for on Sunday. We're very disappointed with the way we've played in this series, we've never really clicked as a team," he said.
