Pietersen's team overcame the effects of a stomach bug sweeping through their camp to win a nerve jangler against Trinidad & Tobago by one run.

But Pietersen has dismissed suggestions players will declare themselves fit when not 100% to play in the money spinning final match saying: "They will be honest, I am not going to take people on the park who are not fit to play for England. It is like any other game."

He added: "Yes, it's a lot of dosh but the longer this week goes on the more I want to get it over with really."

His team were given perfect preparation for a tight finish by Champions Cup winners Trinidad, who required eight off three balls and three off the last.

Ravi Rampaul sliced to third man and was run out by Owais Shah's throw coming back for a second, which would have sealed a tie and sent the contest into a Stanford Super Over - effectively a one-over play-off starting from scratch.

"It was a good game of cricket," said Pietersen. "We definitely thought we had enough but we have got four guys sick at the hotel and another couple who are not well tonight.

"Andrew Flintoff is on his last legs, so it is just a case of getting the boys right for Saturday now. The lads are just not feeling special at the moment.

"But I am sure there will be not many missing the bus on Saturday."
