MELBOURNE, Monday (Reuters) England can still achieve great things on their Ashes tour even though the test series against Australia is lost, captain Nasser Hussain said on Monday.

"The way I look at it is, I tell the boys they have 10 days to turn around the test match tour, to go out there and beat Australia in a test match," Hussain told a news conference.

"That will still be a great achievement...the test series might be lost but we have got to move on from that."

England, 3-0 down in this series, last toured Australia in 1998-99 when skipper Alec Stewart's side lost the series 3-1 despite scoring a 12-run win in a rain-soaked fourth test in Melbourne.
