Martyn tells Aussies to solve own problems

Former Australia batsman Damien Martyn has told the current tourists to pick themselves up in a bid to regain the Ashes.
Australia find themselves 2-0 down in the Ashes in the five-match series ahead of next month's third Test at Old Trafford.
Defeats at Trent Bridge and last week's 347-run thrashing at Lord's have witnessed repeated failures by Australia's top order and Martyn, twice an Ashes-winner before retiring midway through the 2006/07 series, believes his successors must now raise their own game.
"There are no miracles out there to pick ourselves up," said the 41-year-old, who retired with an average of more than 46 in 67 Tests.

"I'd just play the team and then at the end of this Ashes judge them on their performances."
Martyn said personal responsibility was key.

"When I go out to bat, only I can make runs.
"Everyone can tell me everything and coach me. But mentally in a pressure situation you've just got to do it yourself; you've just got to gain the experience."
Australia's batting woes have been summed up by opener Shane Watson, who in 43 Tests has scored just two hundreds.
"He's talented, he's very good," said Martyn, who said Watson's career reminded him of the hold Australia seamer Terry Alderman once had over England opener Graham Gooch.

"He gets out lbw for 50s, 40s, 30s. It's hard to explain. Probably only he could explain it."
"It's a bit like the Terry Alderman, Graham Gooch thing. Terry kept picking him off in 1989 -- and he was one of the greats, Gooch.
