Australian all-rounder Cameron White said Australia can serve up the perfect Ashes revenge, a 7-0 ODI Series whitewashing of England.

 

White, whose ton at the Rose Bowl was instrumental in the Australians going three matches up, has been one of the players of the series to date.

 

But despite 200 runs in three innings, he will lose his place in the order to captain Ricky Ponting for the fourth match.

 

"At the moment if we keep playing good, consistent cricket, keep bowling and fielding well, there is no reason why not," said White, who hit 105 in the six-wicket floodlit win yesterday.

 

"In saying that, winning seven one-dayers against a really good side is a pretty strange thing to happen. But I am not saying that it can't.

 

"We want to keep the momentum going and I don't think we are playing at our total best at the moment.

 

"There are still probably some areas that we think we can improve in, so there are things we need to work on to get better for these four games.

 

"Then come four games' time we are hopefully at our peak."

 

If that happens, Australia would be heading into the Champions Trophy in perfect fettle.

 

This side also has something to live up to as Australia have won three of last four global 50-over tournaments, stretching back to 2003.

 

But the addition of the limited-overs specialists to the tour has altered the mood.

 

"The big for us was to halt the momentum and then change it, I guess," said White. "We have done that now.

 

"The new guys coming in have added a bit of energy around the group.

 

"Not that everyone had their heads down or anything when we got here but there is a good feeling around the group again."
