Australia must be at their best
Australia captain Ricky Ponting says his side will need to maintain its dominant form in one-day cricket if it is to beat India in the series starting on Sunday.
"We (Australia and India) are the number one and two teams in the world and all points to an entertaining and good contest over the next few weeks," Ponting told reporters.
"India is a very good and strong one-day team and we are not underestimating them."
After losing the Ashes Test series in England, Australia beat the hosts 6-1 in the following one-day series and then went on to successfully defend its Champions Trophy title in South Africa.
"We have played some excellent one-day cricket over the last few months. We need to keep improving and need to be at our best right through the series," Ponting said.
Ponting, 34, is the most experienced player left in an Australian team the has been reshaped since the retirement of greats Shane Warne, Matthew Hayden, Glen McGrath and Adam Gilchrist.
