Intro:

Australia and England looked ahead on Saturday for the following day's Tri-Series final meeting in Perth.

Script:

SOUNDBITE: (English) George Bailey, Australian stand-in captain:

"It's tempting to play all four quicks (bowlers) I reckon when you see a wicket like that. We actually, we're sitting down this afternoon to sort that out, but we're really happy that Mitchell Johnson's back and, not that happy that he's been building up his overs in the nets, so it will be nice to see him actually unleashed on, on the opposition rather than us being cannon fodder for the last couple of days, which has been a bit nasty."

SOUNDBITE: (English) George Bailey, Australian stand-in captain:

"I think it is a beautiful batting ground. I think most batters around the world would say that. We always talk about just giving yourself a chance to get in at the WACA, but you always get good value for money for your shots, so.... yes, certainly a great place to bat."

SOUNDBITE: (English) George Bailey, Australian stand-in captain:

"I guess we played South Africa here reasonably.... recently, so that's still fresh in our minds, but having said that I imagine that once, once it gets to the knockout stage of the World Cup.... it doesn't really matter, does it? Form, form really counts for nothing and it's just about turning up and playing well on the day. So all teams would be striving for consistency and that age old thing of just not having, your bad days be too bad and hopefully once you get to that end of the tournament playing as close to your best as you can."
