Result meaningless: Skippers
Australian captain Ricky Ponting and opposite number Michael Vaughan have both played down the relevance of England's big Twenty20 win in Southampton.
Needing 180 runs to win the match, the Australians were bowled out for just 79 in 14.3 overs with Jason Gillespie top-scoring with 24, while Adam Gilchrist and Brett Lee (both 15) were the only others to reach double figures.
The tourists' capitulation followed Paul Collingwood's 46 off 26 balls to lead England to 8-179 and the all-rounder claimed 2-8 with the ball.
However Ponting was insistent after the match that Australia will be a vastly different unit in the opening one-day matches against Bangladesh and England in Cardiff and Bristol this weekend.
"I think it's that sort of game Twenty20," the Aussie skipper told AFP. "So much happens that wouldn't normally happen in a 50-over game so I don't think the result of today's game will do them any good and probably won't do us any harm."
"It's not the ideal start for us," he added. "Not much went right. We got behind in our overs so we had to rush everything through from there."
Ponting was one of three Australian batsmen not to trouble the scorer and he admitted afterwards that the team's batting was 'ordinary'.
"Every time it went in the air it went straight to a fielder and there were some poor shots mixed in there as well for us. It was a pretty ordinary day for us. England just outplayed us everywhere."
Vaughan agreed with Ponting's assessment, but was quick to praise his players for their effort in claiming a rare victory over their old rivals.
"It's nice to win, nice to beat Australia, but I wouldn't read too much into a Twenty20 victory," said Vaughan.
"When we batted, we maintained momentum and when we bowled everything seemed to go to hand."
"We're delighted to have won but we realise a 50-over contest is totally different to a Twenty20 contest and five-day contest is totally different to one-day cricket."
"They are going to have stages when they are on top of us this summer and that will be the real test for the team."
