London, Sep. 15 : Off-spinner Graeme Swann is hoping to give a wake up call to his England team-mates when they take on Australia in the fifth of the seven match NatWest series.

The day-night clash is to be played at Trent Bridge tonight.

The spin ace told SunSport: "I''m going to try to lift the camp. I find it easy to have a laugh while playing cricket - and it''s probably more important to do that when you are losing. I don''t target anyone in particular with the piss-taking. It is whoever walks in the dressing room at the wrong time. But you can''t kid anyone, we''ve played terrible cricket in the one-day series so far."

England''s one-day form needs a sharp hand-brake turn if they are to stand any chance in the upcoming Champions Trophy in South Africa. Their mini-World Cup campaign starts on September 25 and once again you wouldn''t back them to bag the silverware.
