Hat-trick bowler Clint McKay is confident that a deflated Australian team will come back hard in the last one-day match against England in Southampton on Monday.
According to news.com.au, not even veteran paceman McKay's three quality wickets, Kevin Pietersen, Jonathan Trott and Joe Root, in three balls could tip the balance at the hosts won game four by three wickets with just three balls to spare in Cardiff to keep the series alive going into the last game in Southampton.
McKay said that the boys were a bit flat but they have a massive opportunity today to take the series home.
The bowler became just the fifth Australian to take a hat trick in international one-day cricket, the first since Daniel Christian against Sri Lanka in Melbourne in early 2012, the report said.
