Waugh has warned England his team are at the top of their game.

They beat Pakistan with ease, recording two innings victories in the three Tests.

Waugh said after winning the final Test in Sharjah on Tuesday: "It's a big thing to play for Australia and we can never be complacent.

"I was a bit surprised we won the last two Tests so easily, but overall it was an excellent performance.

"We are ready to go for the Ashes."

Australia won the first Test by 41 runs and the second inside two days by an innings and 198 runs.

This sets them up nicely for the first Test against England, in Brisbane on 7 November.

Waugh said he was delighted his team did not relax after winning the second Test inside two days.

"There was a chance we may relax, but we worked hard every ball and produced a professional Test match win here."

The Australian captain dismissed suggestions by his English counterpart Nasser Hussain that the 37-year-old Waugh twins, Steve and Mark, were the ones to target in the Ashes series.

"I think I am averaging about 59 against England, so have done quite well against them," said Waugh, who hit an unbeaten century in the final Test.

"You can say what you like, it's what happens on the field which counts.

"I have enjoyed playing against England and if they are focusing on one or two players, chances are they make take their eye off the ball.

"We talked of complacency four years ago when we won 16 Tests in a row.

"But there are so many good players out in Australia, that we can't afford to relax."
