Crafty Australian paceman Andrew Tye will keep tinkering with his approach to 50-over cricket in Friday's Gabba clash with England.

The West Australian made his ODI debut in the home side's series-opening loss at the MCG on Sunday, finishing with an economical 0-43 from 10 overs as the English completed a record-breaking chase of 304.

Tye is equipped with a number of variations, including a knuckle ball that wreaked havoc in a debut IPL season last year that featured a hat-trick and figures of 5-17.

He has been a regular destroyer for the Perth Scorchers in this season's Big Bash, but after going wicketless in Melbourne says the transition to the longer format is something he is still adjusting to.

"That's all part of the learning curve; figuring out how the best way for me to attack it at that level is," he said.

"It's a completely different sort of environment; you've got a bit more time in 50-over cricket (as a batsman), don't have to be all crash and bash."

The 31-year-old won't be zipping up his bag of tricks in Brisbane on Friday though, rather just choosing the right moments to employ them.

"It all depends how I feel at the time, what the game situation's like, what I think we might need as a team to get a batsman out of a rhythm," he said.

"A wicket or two would've been handy, but it wasn't as bad as it could've been.

"I'm not putting any pressure on myself to try and get wickets because if you do that they don't generally come."

Pat Cummins is set to be rested for the second of the five-match series and replaced by Josh Hazlewood, who sat out the first-up loss.
