Twenty20 / Editor / 01 February 2007 /

Ricky Ponting says there will be no let up against England on Friday as they want to complete a clean sweep of ten victories against the tourists.

England have yet to beat Australia on the current tour Down Under - losing all five Tests, the Twenty20 international and their three one-day clashes with the Aussies in the Commonwealth Bank series.

England's sole success is a hard-fought one-day victory over New Zealand and they need to beat both Australia and the Kiwis in their remaining two matches if they are to have any chance of reaching the three-match finals with Ponting's men.

Having seen his side beaten by the hosts in all their clashes to date, Andrew Flintoff, who will again skipper the side in the absence of Michael Vaughan, is hoping for one last push from his under-fire outfit to try and break their duck against the world champions.

But Ponting has other ideas and stressed that the World Cup favourites always attempt to win every game against a touring side.

"That is the one thing we have been trying to do against any team," he said. "It doesn't matter whether it is against England or whoever.

"For any team to tour Australia and not actually beat us in any game would be a feather in all of our caps.

"So let's hope we maintain the high standards we have set so far through this series and hopefully it will go our way."

Australia are the 1.13 favourites to continue their dominance over England, with 'Freddie's' men trading at 8 to claim a shock win.

England are 25 to make the final and 110 to take the title, with Friday's opponents trading at 1.13 to add yet another trophy to their ever-growing list of achievements.
