Australian fast bowler Josh Hazlewood has claimed that England 'don't quite know how to beat them yet', especially in Australia, following Eoin Morgan's team's recent loss in the tri-series final.

Hazlewood pointed to Morgan's stumps being skittled by Australian pace spearhead Michael Johnson in the tri-series final as the clearest illustration that England are 'sitting ducks' for the World Cup kick-off on February 14.

Walking out to bat after watching his opener Moeen Ali being removed by Johnson's express delivery, Morgan was too rattled to even offer a shot and was gone first ball, News.com.au reported. 

According to Hazlewood, England 'appear out of ideas and Australia have a hold on them'. Hazlewood said that the England team would be 'scratching their head' of how to get on top of Australia in this first game, insisting that it had England's number the other day. The paceman claimed that 'knocking over' England skipper Morgan for a golden duck put Australia well on the way for a win.

Hazlewood claimed that they are 'happy' for Johnson to keep bowling like that, even if the pace express is not a 'danger'. He insisted that just those 'bursts' where Johnson gets three or four quick wickets and breaks the game.
