Brett Lee has vowed to go hard in the two-Test series against Bangladesh, starting today.
The paceman said Australia owed it to the Bangladeshis to play hard in order for Test cricket's newest nation to learn.
Lee will share new-ball duties with Stuart Clark and is not planning on easing up for cricket's minnows.
He said the only way for Bangladesh to learn about elite cricket was to be thrown in the deep end, the cruel end.
"We are here to play Test cricket and we are playing a side who will be very competitive, and keen to play against us," he said.
"They will want to learn as much as they possibly can. We owe it to them to go out there and play at 100 per cent. It wouldn't be fair to them if we went out and didn't play as well as we possibly could.
"We have come here to win 2-0. We want to win 2-0. If we can do that, and we play our best cricket, then Bangladesh will learn a lot playing against us."
Lee, who is widely admired on the subcontinent, has made a point of holding impromptu clinics with local bowlers after Australian training.
But if all goes to script for Ricky Ponting in the two-Test series, Bangladesh will be largely learning about walking to and from the crease.
The lowest ranked Test nation has won only one Test from 41 attempts -- against Zimbabwe -- and was comprehensively beaten in its only previous series against Australia, in 2003.
Despite improvement under former Sri Lankan guru Dav Whatmore, Bangladesh will do well to extend its Test tutorial from Australia into a fourth day, with Ponting's men keen to sign off on a successful summer and carry the momentum through to the Ashes with a faultless display.
"It would be only fair to our side to finish on a high," Lee said.
"We have had a great summer, the way that we have come back and fought against the sides that we have played.
"In the Australian summer, and in South Africa, it was outstanding. So we owe it to ourselves to go out there and make sure we have two great Test matches.
"We have about five months off, so there is no reason why we can't go flat out here, have five months off and then hopefully do well in the Ashes series."
Lee stressed the Australians would not allow complacency to creep into their performances, despite being unbackable favourites and nearing the end 11 months of almost non-stop cricket.
"Playing Test cricket is all about going out there and doing the best that you can for your country," he said. "It's no different here."
Motivation is certainly not short in supply for Lee, 29, who was recently engaged.
He is relishing the role of Australia's strike bowler in the absence of Glenn McGrath, and remembers well it was only a year ago he was not even in the Test side.
While Lee and Australia are keen to see McGrath return, the emergence of the blond thunderbolt as a replacement pace spearhead is greatly encouraging.
"I have matured as a person as well as a fast bowler," Lee said.
"I have really tried to embrace being the strike bowler in the Australian side. I have enjoyed bowling with the new ball in Test match cricket. I've enjoyed that role and hopefully I can continue to do that."
