Australian fast bowler Ryan Harris has said that England are a good side and can be expected to bounce back in the Ashes but his side would want to make sure that they bury their opposition in Perth.

According to the Sydney Morning Herald, Harris pointed out that three-nil in the series after Perth would be fantastic.

England has won only once in 12 Tests at the WACA and that was in 1978/79 against an Australian side gutted by World Series Cricket, the report said.

Harris, who took 3-54 to apply the finishing touches with Siddle (4-57) in Adelaide, is also confident his objective of featuring in all five Ashes contests remains on track, the report said.

He said that he is a little bit stiff and sore but once he got back in the middle in the morning, he got his pace back, which is encouraging.
