Manchester: Ryan Sidebottom has challenged England to send Australia home trophy-less by adding to their Ashes success with Twenty20 and One-day series wins over their oldest foes.
But his words came after Australia fast bowler Brett Lee served notice he could still be a thorn in England's side.
Both left-arm paceman Sidebottom and Oz' Lee missed England's 2-1 Ashes triumph because of injury and the ensuing good form of other bowlers.
They both returned to international duty in the washed out Twenty20 here at Old Trafford on Sunday.
Sidebottom's haul of none for 31 in four overs was respectable enough as Australia made 145 for four.
Although rain meant England's reply lasted 1.1 overs, there was still time for them to collapse to four for two with veteran quick Lee, in his one over, removing Twenty20 debutant Joe Denly for a duck.
Denly, in an over where Lee several times topped 85mph, was beaten for pace and it was a heartening sight for Australia ahead of the second and final Twenty20 here on Tuesday and the subsequent seven-match one-day series.
Even so, a bullish Sidebottom said: "It would be an ideal situation to beat Australia in all forms of the game and send them home not winning anything.
"We are very determined in the team that we want to do that."
Three-times losing World Cup finalists England have never won a major One-Day International tournament.
And there has long been a suspicion that the country that gave birth to limited overs professional cricket has regarded all short forms of the game as a necessary financial evil compared to the serious business of Test matches.
