Usman Khawaja, Phil Hughes and Brad Haddin scored half-centuries as Australia put a difficult week behind them to notch a six-wicket win over Somerset in their four-day tour match on Saturday.
Having axed coach Mickey Arthur on Monday following a poor Champions Trophy, the tourists were keen to make a statement in the first of two warm-up matches ahead of the first Ashes Test against England starting at Trent Bridge on July 10.
They began the final day on 36 without loss, requiring a further 224 runs to win.
Khawaja top-scored with 73 and Hughes made his second half-century of the match.
Vice-captain Haddin was also in the runs, ending the game with a six of George Dockrell to finish on 52 off 40 balls.
Australia's final warm-up match is against Worcestershire starting on Tuesday.
