India will go all out for a victory and won't be looking for a draw, declared captain Rahul Dravid [Images] on Wednesday on the eve of the third Test against England [Images] at the Oval in London [Images].

India lead the three-match Test series 1-0 after their crushing victory at Trent Bridge and the draw at Lord's. A draw at the Oval would be enough for the visitors to seal their first Test series victory in England since 1986, but Dravid said India would be looking to carry on the momentum.

"We haven't thought of any other situation rather than there is a decisive result. Look at the last two Test matches, nearly 360 or 340 overs were played, and there was nearly a result in Lord's and there was a result in Trent Bridge. This one is probably going to be 450 overs of cricket and there should be a result. We are thinking of playing five days of good cricket here and hoping to be at the right side of the result," said Dravid.

The Indian captain is quite aware of the fact that India have let slip such advantages in the past, especially on foreign tours.

"The challenge is to play the kind of cricket that we had played in Trent Bridge. When you go out there and put your things right and do the basics right, then beaten up sometimes, you have to accept it. The need for our team is to back up the good performance with another good performance. It takes a lot to win the Test matches and it takes a lot more to win the Test series. Will have to maintain the performance throughout the course of the series and that is quite difficult," he said.

The wicket at the Oval is expected to provide plenty of bounce, but not as much swing as seen in the previous two matches. India face a selection dilemma and it mainly pertains to selection of S Sreesanth [Images], whose temper has swung more than his bowling. Time and again the young Kerala [Images] pacer has displayed immaturity and lost his focus in an attempt to intimidate the batsmen.

Dravid said he has spoken to the 24-year-old, who seems quite disappointed after his exclusion from the one-day squad.

"Sreesanth is well-prepared for this responsibility. I had a word with him, and yeah he will be disappointed if he is not picked up for any team and that is part and parcel of being an international sportsman.

"There are times when you are not going to get picked up and we want our players to be disappointed and go out and correct it. The worst kind of players are those who are happy about being dropped. I have no problems with the players being disappointed and then want to go out and correct it. It helps them to comeback stronger and those sort of guys we want. Sree is very focused and keen to do well and move on from what happened at Trent Bridge," he said.

The Indian captain believes the wicket is result-oriented and at the same time would help both the batsmen and the bowlers.

"We have played in these conditions and we have played well in these conditions before. There is a question of adapting a little bit and adjusting a bit to the extra bounce. My experience at the Oval wicket... it tends to be very good cricket pitch and there is something in for everyone. Batsman, if he goes on to get set it opens up a lot of backfoot shots and it opens up the front foot game too. As a bowler you always have chance as you get a bit of bounce. Generally, we have seen very good cricket played at the Oval and I don't think it will be different this time as well.

"There will be something in it, hopefully a bit of bounce. If anything to be from the wicket Anil is probably the best guy to utilize it. I think for Monty and Anil there will be something for them as the game goes on. We will just have to wait and see how it pans out," he added.

Even though Dravid is not in the best of form in the series, he would no doubt be looking forward to batting at the historic Oval cricket ground.

In his previous appearance at this venue, the Karnataka right-hander overshadowed Michael Vaughan's [Images] 195 with a fluent double century (217) as the match ended in a draw.

"We have some good memories in this ground and certainly taking my mind back to those memories to get some sort of inspiration. Four, five years have been passed since and it is a new game. Certainly I would like to put up a big score if I get set and go out and make an impact. That is what you play cricket for, to make an impact on the game and help the team to win the game," Dravid said.

The 34-year-old said India's game plan is pretty simple -- to put up a big score in the first innings.

"It is the same story with every side. If you get the opportunity to bat first, perhaps when the conditions are best, it counts. We made that count in Trent Bridge, while scoring 480. You know if you want to do well against good sides in the Test matches, you have to make that first innings count if you have the opportunity to use the wicket first," he said.

The Indian captain also lauded his bowlers, who have been instrumental in the team's turnaround in the series. He singled out Sourav Ganguly [Images] for special praise for his contribution with the ball, which has seen him take two vital wickets in the two matches.

"We have to try and maintain the length, and we have used only four frontline bowlers. Sourav [Ganguly] has done well for us as the fifth bowler in the opportunities that he got. It depends on the Test match, and in the last Test match we were going for win. There we had the opportunity for your best bowlers bowling.
