Australia have just beaten England 6-1, so their form is impressive. However, they have only just arrived in South Africa and without any warm-up matches they must resist the temptation to treat this game as a centre-wicket practice. A resounding win is required to give them momentum ahead of their matches against India and Pakistan - the teams are competing for two semi-finals spots. Weariness could be a factor and Ricky Ponting said this week the squad featured a lot of tired bodies after a four-month tour of England. Australia are also without their one-day specialist Nathan Bracken, although there is plenty of pace-bowling backup in the squad.

West Indies will get the respect they deserve from us. There is nothing we can do about the contractual dispute."

Australia also had an injury concern over Michael Clarke, the vice-captain, who suffered from a sore back after the flight from England to South Africa. Australia are pooled in Group A with West Indies, India and Pakistan and will begin their Champions Trophy title defence against West Indies on Saturday.

One senior player recently returned from injury is Brett Lee. He was in good form in the 6-1 series win over England after missing the Tests, but Ponting said he would require careful management if he was still playing in 17 months.

Although satisfied with the pace reserves, Ponting said Australia could not afford to carry quicks in their twilight years. "Brett by that stage will be 34 (and Bracken 33), and you can have one of those guys as long as you don't have two or three," he said.
