'We can win any game'

Agencies, Melbourne

Finch believes the Australians have a perfect blend in their team after they defeated England.

"You got Davey Warner, George Bailey, Glenn Maxwell, Mitch Marsh, Brad Haddin who can all play so many different roles.

"We can play in every scenario and that's what makes us a quality team at the moment.”

Finch said he was proud of his sixth ODI century on such a big stage at the World Cup, before paying tribute to Steve Smith's mid-air screamer to dismiss Jos Buttler for 10.

On the other hand, Eoin Morgan defended England's team changes.

"We're not a precious squad. We changed the balance of the side but we played our best 11," Morgan insisted. James Taylor probably batted closer to his natural position in the batting lineup than ever before. And Gary Ballance has had a fantastic 12 months of Test match cricket.”

Once again Morgan was out for a duck but said he was confident of turning things around. While England were again outplayed by Australia, Morgan said the target remained reaching the quarter-finals.

Meanwhile, Sri Lanka batsman Lahiru Thirimanne blamed sloppy fielding for their loss to New Zealand.

"We leaked 20-30 runs through poor fielding," said Thirimanne.

"We have to make an extra effort as a team. Crucial catches might can cost you at the end of the game."

McCullum, after the win, was over-the-moon with his side's performance.
