Australia have arrived in New Zealand for the Chappell-Hadlee Trophy consisting of three one-day internationals.
Despite the ICC World Cup 2007 beginning in the West Indies soon, both teams will be at about full strength.
Australia captain Ricky Ponting held a press conference at the team hotel in Auckland shortly after landing.
Journalist: With the World Cup so close, will your team be taking this series seriously?
Ricky Ponting: Australia take every series seriously. It doesn't matter that the World Cup is so close, we still have a hunger to win.
Journalist: After losing the Commonwealth Bank Series, will that hunger to win be more evident than it might have been?
Ricky Ponting: It would have been evident anyway.
Ricky Ponting and Australia are in a hungry and confident mood ahead of the series.
His opposite number, New Zealand captain Stephen Fleming, held a press conference at the the stadium on the same day.
Journalist: Australia captain Ricky Ponting has said his team have a 'hunger to win'. Does this comment intimidate your team?
Stephen Fleming: No, I would expect that from Ricky Ponting and Australia. My team are seeking revenge after the Commonwealth Bank Series and we have our home crowd behind us.
Journalist: Who do you think will play a big part in the series?
Stephen Fleming: Cricket isn't an individual sport like tennis, it is a team sport and I am sure all eleven players will play a big part in the series.
Both teams have released their twelve man squads and there are no shocks for New Zealand but Nathan Bracken is being rested for Australia.
