London: England left-arm spinner Michael Yardy insists the team can play better despite going an unbeatable 3-0 up in their One-day series against Australia.
The hosts' run has prompted talk of a clean sweep ahead of the fourth of their five-match series with the Aussies here at the Oval on Wednesday. Yardy, a member of the England team that beat Australia in last month's World Twenty20 final in Barbados, was adamant the team's current success was in no way diminished by Australia having come to England without injured first-choice quicks Mitchell Johnson, Peter Siddle and Ben Hilfenhaus.
"They are a very competitive nation and they are still ranked as the best team in the world," Yardy told reporters on Tuesday.
"The most important thing is to concentrate on the things we've been doing well in the series. There are things to improve on and make sure the focus is on what we do well. I think that's been the big thing this series; we haven't worried too much about Australia and more about what we do and our plans. So far they have worked pretty well."
He added: "Obviously 5-0 would be nice but we have to deal with this game first. We still have a few areas top improve on and we'll be hoping to do that tomorrow (Wednesday).
"It's nice to be 3-0 against the Australians, who are ranked as the top team in the world, and 3-0 is fantastic but we're still trying to keep improving and moving things forward."
