Pietersen and the rest of the England squad were disappointed to lose the Test series 1-0 having arrived in the Caribbean as favourites to win comfortably.

"I think we're going to have to go out there with an aggressive approach because we haven't won a game this whole winter," said Pietersen. "We've got to go out there swinging and playing some good positive cricket. We're going to have to do something because I'm not sure I want to be here another month if we don't win a game."

Following Australia's impressive comeback to win their current series in South Africa - having lost at home to the same opponents - England have just over four months to claim some momentum of their own before the Ashes series begins in Cardiff on July 8.

It is a situation which has already alerted Pietersen and although he concedes England are struggling for results at present, he is convinced the Ashes series will be closely contested - no matter what happens over the next four months.

"I've been asked this question before about momentum and I said that Australia don't exactly have any coming into the series either, and then they've just gone and annihilated South Africa 2-0, so they now have it and we have no momentum," he added.

"I do still think that the Ashes this year will be contested very evenly and it'll be a huge series because both teams are at a stage where anything can happen."
