AUSTRALIA'S joy at trouncing England in the one-day series on Sunday night was tempered by the frustration of another animated on-field blow-up which has both captains calling for batsmen to take the word of catchers.
A second clean sweep is within reach just a fortnight after winning the Test series 5-0, with Australia cruising to a seven-wicket victory at the SCG in the third match of five.

Australia has produced a fantastic fielding performance in the third one dayer against the English, with David Warners ridiculous run-out accompanied by an unbelievable catch by Michael Clarke.
Man of the match David Warner (71 from 70 balls), captain Michael Clarke and wicket-keeper Brad Haddin will all be rested from the next match in Perth on Friday, while Shane Watson will not return until the last match in Adelaide.
George Bailey missed Sunday's match with a hip problem but declared himself fit to lead the team in Clarke's absence.
Shaun Marsh (71 not out from 89 balls) ensured the modest England total of 243 was run down with 10 overs to spare.
Warner's innings was as explosive as the confrontation which forced both umpires to come between remonstrating Australian fieldsmen and belligerent batsmen Eoin Morgan and Jos Buttler.
The Australians were celebrating a low, diving caught and bowled by Dan Christian off Morgan, England's top scorer (54 in 58 balls), when the Irishman refused to walk.
As umpires Simon Fry from Australia and Ranmore Martinesz from Sri Lanka waited for video umpire Kumar Dharmasena to check the catch, the batsmen and fieldsmen confronted each other on the edge of the pitch.
Clarke was particularly animated with Morgan and then Buttler.
Michael Clarke, Eoin Morgan and Jos Butler had a fiery exchange following Morgan's uncertainty that he had been cleanly caught by Dan Christian.
"I would like to see it get back to a bit of old school cricket where you ask the fieldsmen did he catch it and if he says yes you take his word," Clarke said.
"I think we've got so much technology in the game these days that if you say yes when you don't catch it that's your reputation, that's the integrity of the game of cricket.
"In the case with Dan Christian he was asked if he caught it, he said yes, and the batsman still didn't go, and he's got every right not to go, the umpires are out there to make a decision.
"But I'd like to see it go back to respecting the opposition's decision."
Cook claimed he was frustrated by the inconsistent use of technology with low catches.
"It's all just a little bit confusing and that's what frustrates me," Cook said.
"I'd love to see it go back to the player says I caught it and you walk off, fine, but then it can look funny on the big screen. "
Morgan was booed off by the near capacity crowd of 37,823 while Buttler and Clarke continued their animated conversation, which appeared to have an amicable end.
It was the third ugly clash of the tour, with England batsmen and Australian fieldsmen confronting each other towards the end of the first and second Tests in Brisbane and Adelaide.
Clarke was fined 20 percent of his match fee, about $3000, after the Brisbane Test when an inadvertently open stump mike picked him telling England's serial sledger Jimmy Anderson to "get ready for a broken f**king arm."
