The fourth test starts at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Tuesday and Hazlewood underlined his side's mentality of wanting to sweep the series with a barbed shot at England's lower order. In the four innings Australia's lower order have had to bat this series, their last five wickets have added 100 or more runs three times. They are averaging almost 142 runs per innings and on two occasions captain Steve Smith has had the luxury of declaring. England's tail by contrast have added more than 100 runs just once in six innings. The 26-year-old Hazlewood also added the MCG pitch would probably be flat and offer little assistance to either side's bowlers.
