Australia paceman Brett Lee is relishing the prospect of tormenting Bangladesh again on a fast pitch produced for the second test which starts on Friday.
"I haven't seen a nice fast wicket for a while but this looks as close to a green top as possible," Lee, one of the world's fastest bowlers, said on Wednesday.
The inaugural test between top-ranked Australia and Asia's test cricket newcomers ended quickly in Darwin last week with a crushing victory for the home team by an innings and 132 runs within three days.
Bangladesh made only 97 and 178 but new coach Dav Whatmore and captain Khaled Mahmud said gradual improvement was the main goal for a team that entered test cricket three years ago and has a record of 19 losses and one draw.
However, the lively wicket at Cairns on Queensland's tropical far north coast is set to have the Bangladesh batsmen hopping as crowd favourite Lee hits top pace.
"I've made it a goal of mine to be the main bowler for Australia," Lee said.
"On the flip side you have to do what's best for the Australian side and if it's better for me to bowl first change then I have to know my role ... I'm pumped."
Australia's top order batsmen Matthew Hayden and Ricky Ponting will both be keen for big scores after making a combined 21 on the slow-paced Darwin track.
"We enjoy playing aggressive cricket and it won't change," Hayden told reporters.
Australia have passed 400 in their first innings 29 times under Steve Waugh's captaincy and won 25 of those games.
"I'd rather have three exciting days and make the spectators enjoy the cricket we play. I think we'll continue that way," Waugh said.
Mahmud said he was confident his team would improve.
"This is a learning experience for us. We batted better in the second innings but we have a lot of things we need to improve and slowly we will do it," he said after the first test.
The absence of Shane Warne from the Bangladesh series because of a 12-month doping ban has been little help to the tourists.
It has simply given reserve leg-spinner Stuart MacGill more opportunities to impress, including a five-wicket haul in Bangladesh's second innings last week.
