Pat Cummins insists Josh Hazlewood was only joking when he said Australia could consider underperforming in their next World Cup match to increase the chance of England being eliminated from the tournament early.
Cummins was also adamant Australia will observe "the spirit of cricket" and play at full tilt when they meet Scotland in St Lucia on Sunday (AEST).
After a wash-out and a loss to Australia to begin the group stage, reigning-champions England need to beat Namibia on Sunday morning (AEST), then rely on Scotland losing to Australia to make the Super 8 stage.
