Australia seamer Josh Hazlewood says England have showed his team how to play white-ball cricket during the current one-day series... and he's come up with a solution to his own country's recent limited-overs struggles.

England claimed series victory at Sydney on Sunday with two games to play, a much-needed pick-me-up after their Ashes trouncing, securing a 16-run win despite facing the same pace attack which dismantled their batting line-up in the Test arena.

That trio of fast bowlers - Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins and Hazlewood - have lost each of the past four ODIs in which they've all played, leading to scrutiny over their ability to transfer their Test form into the shorter formats.

Hazlewood accepted that Australia have been very much second best to England in the current campaign, and he believes the way for his side to improve is by shoe-horning limited-overs drills into the busy Test training schedule.

"You now need to work on those skills from time to time. Maybe it's a session here or there around Test cricket you can work on those skills with the white ball. We can learn and do those things differently next time," Hazlewood said.

"You still want your best bowlers playing. It's that transition. We haven't quite transitioned from Test cricket to one-day cricket as well as we could have.

"England have two sets of bowlers in some regard with only Woakes and Ali backing up. They're really one-day specialists and have showed us how to play in those regards, particularly with the bat as well."

The Aussies have two new faces in the international arena - Andrew Tye and Jhye Richardson - among their ranks for the games against England. That means the green and gold selectors have turned to nine quicks in total since the end of the last Australian summer.

Hazlewood says the pair will take their time to bed in, but stressed how important it is for Australia to have a plentitude of options to enable the premier seam attack to take a break on occasion.

"They're very good one-day bowlers but they're fresh on the scene in international cricket," Hazlewood said.

"They'll learn on the go. We'd love to have our first-choice attack ready to go all the time but the schedule with so much cricket that's not possible. It's good for these guys to get a run and learn from playing along guys like Starc, Cummins and myself."
