Australia coach tells team to relish 'fun' Ashes finale

LONDON: Australia coach Tim Nielsen wants his players to have "fun" when the decisive fifth Ashes Test against England gets underway at the Oval here tomorrow.

For several members of Nielsen's team this promises to be the biggest match of their careers, with the series all square at 1-1 and Australia needing just a draw to retain the Ashes.

But Nielsen, while recognizing the enormity of the occasion, wants his players to savor the experience - both now and in the future too.
