``We will be looking to knock Sri Lanka off its perch,'' said Healy, who took over from the injured Mark Taylor as skipper of the side for this tournament. ``We are looking to win!''

Australia, which had delayed confirming its presence in the tournament till almost the last moment due to security concerns, appears to have arrived in a much happier frame of mind. ``The hospitality, the reception we have received so far has gone a long way to dispel our fears,'' said Healy. ``I would be lying if I said there were no fears whatsoever. Security has been a concern to the Australian Cricket Board, and the administrators.

``But after arriving here,'' the ace wicketkeeper admitted, ``our anxiety has been put into the background... we are well and thoroughly on the way for a happy tour.''

Security has been tightened in the Lankan capital, Colombo, for the one-day series beginning next week and involving, besides the host country, Australia, India and Zimbabwe.

The Zimbabwe team, skippered by left-hand batsman Alaistair Campbell, also arrived in Colombo on Wednesday. India, under Sachin Tendulkar, are expected to arrive on Friday.

Healy, meanwhile, said that Australia were not discounting the challenge of the other two sides in the tournament. ``India and Zimbabwe are not going to be easy either,'' he admitted.

ACB chief executive Graham Halbish, meanwhile, indicated that the side was happy to be in Colombo. ``We are renewing a lot of old friendships,'' said the ACB boss. ``We have come here to play good cricket, and to enjoy ourselves.''
