Australia coach Mickey Arthur has promised a swashbuckling approach from his side in their forthcoming one-day series against England.
The rivals will open hostilities at Lord's on June 29 in the first of five matches that will whet the appetite for next summer's Ashes series.
Australia have arrived in the UK as the world's top one-day team and Arthur insists they are determined to retain that position.
"We are world number ones and we aim to come out and play a really good, exciting and sustainable brand of cricket," he told Sky Sports News.
"We have an exciting team. We have some real firepower in our attack and we're looking forward to a good, interesting series.
"England are playing really well. I watched them the other day and they played some good cricket. They are tough in their own conditions.
"We're a changing team and the aim for us is to stay number one while we keep evolving as a side. That's a challenge in itself."
Arthur admits the Ashes are on Australia's radar and intends exposing some of the team's newer arrivals to English conditions in preparation for next summer.
"This is purely about winning a one-day series, but it does allow us to give the likes of Pat Cummins and James Pattinson opportunities in conditions they will be facing for three and a half months next year," he said.
"We're now blessed with a really good array of fast bowlers. We can pick any one of eight without weakening our side.
"There will be injuries and it would be naive to think otherwise.

"I believe the Ashes next year will evolve around which team has the fittest attack and can keep that attack on the park for five Test matches."
