AUSTRALIA has pummelled Germany 6-0 to give itself an outside chance of claiming the four-nation Hamburg Masters men's hockey tournament in Germany.

Midfielder Ben Bishop bagged a double, while Michael McCann, Luke Doerner, Grant Schubert and Brent Livermore all scored as the Olympic champion Kookaburra's rebounded from their first-up 3-1 loss to the Netherlands on Friday.
The Netherlands will claim the Masters title with a win or draw against hosts Germany tomorrow, but may open the door for Australia to snatch the crown with a loss.

The Kookaburras play Pakistan in its final game of the tournament before travelling to the Dutch town of Amstelveen for the eight-nation Rabo Trophy.

McCann opened the scoring against Germany in the third minute before Bishop made it 2-0 close to the break.

Doerner scored from a short corner 10 minutes into the second half and helped Schubert make it 4-0 four minutes later.
