England fast bowler Simon Jones believes he will get over the serious knee injury that has cut short his Ashes tour.
Jones ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee after falling awkwardly chasing a ball on the opening day of the first Test in Brisbane.
But the 23-year-old insisted he would not be beaten by the latest in a series of injuries that has blighted his career.
"I'd started the game well and was feeling good. Obviously, I'm gutted about what's happened but it's something that I feel I can get over," he said.
"I broke my left leg before playing rugby when I was 17 and I've also had stress fractures of the shin and the foot since then.
"I've come back from those injuries so I'm backing myself to come back from this too."
An England spokesman said Jones would undergo surgery once he returned home.
England coach Duncan Fletcher was critical of his team's fielding performance after Australia racked up a huge score on day one of the Ashes series.
The hosts finished the first day at The Gabba on a daunting 364 for two, with opener Matthew Hayden batting throughout the day for 186 not out and Ricky Ponting making 123.
However, the batsmen were given a helping hand by some dreadful fielding with Hayden lucky on several occasions.
Fletcher said: "We just didn't field well which was strange.
"I think we have fielded very well on this tour up to the second day against Queensland when we dropped a few catches.
"Then suddenly today we came along and dropped some more vital catches and you just can't do that out here."
The first escape for Hayden was on 40. Simon Jones held a catch at fine leg but the Glamorgan fast bowler's momentum carried him over the boundary.
Strike bowler Brett Lee says his axing from Australia's team to play England had made him more determined than ever to make the grade.
He told reporters on Thursday: "I know I can bounce back from it. It's made me very hungry and I'm just going to work twice as hard now and really focus on what I've done the last couple of years."
Lee will join former Test players Mark Waugh, Michael Bevan, Stuart MacGill, Michael Slater and Simon Katich in the New South Wales side to host Tasmania in a four-day interstate match at Sydney Cricket Ground starting on Friday.
Lee, who turns 26 today, burst onto the international scene in December 1999 when he captured five wickets on his Test debut. His blond hair and ready smile have made him one of the faces of Australia cricket in television promotions.
