Stand-in Australia captain Michael Clarke says his team will not make the mistake of taking Bangladesh lightly in their three-match limited-overs cricket series starting today.
Bangladesh beat Australia in a one-day match at Cardiff, Wales, in 2005 and Clarke, standing in for recuperating regular skipper Ricky Ponting, said the Australians have no intention of underestimating their inexperienced rivals.
"I can guarantee that definitely won't happen this time," he said.
"It's happened to us before and we've lost, not just to Bangladesh, but to a lot of other teams.
"As soon as you take things for granted I think you find yourself asking questions why you've lost that game. So it's important we concentrate today." Along with Ponting, who has a wrist injury, Australia will be without opener Matthew Hayden, recovering from an achilles tendon strain, and strike bowler Brett Lee, who has been granted leave after a marriage breakup.
Bangladesh coach Jamie Siddons said his team was aiming for consistency and would not be satisfied with occasional, surprise wins over teams such as Australia.
"We are always talking about the fact that we have a win here and we have a win there and that's got to stop," said Australia-born Siddons.
"We're trying to be more consistently competitive in all our games."
