SOUNDBITE: (English) Michael Clarke, Australia captain (on the performance)

"I think, well it's nice to turn our form around after New Zealand. I think especially with the bat. I think the boys played really well to make 400, our highest World Cup score ever. That's very satisfying and really pleasing after the way that we batted against New Zealand. I think there were obviously some outstanding individual performances. David Warner obviously, he led the way with that, and Steve Smith played around David. Glenn Maxwell, you know I thought they all played really well to get that record and then once again we came out and bowled and fielded really well. So I think that side of our game seems pretty consistent and we have to continue to bowl and field the way we are and, like I say, it's a real positive to be able to turn things around with the bat so quickly.

I've said before, it's going to take all 15 of us to have success in this World Cup. I think the selectors have made it pretty clear that that's the 11 they've picked for these conditions against this opposition and I'm sure they will do the same for Sri Lanka at the SCG (Sydney Cricket ground). Whatever eleven the selectors give me, my job is to get the best out of them and I'm confident with every player in this squad, if they get an opportunity they will grab it with both hands and help the team to have success."
