Re: England V Aus - ODI series
Australia consolidating thru Ponting and Clarke
172/2 after 35 overs
Ponting 65*
Clarke 51*
with the likes of White and Hussey to come, can they score 300 from here?
Re: England V Aus - ODI series
It looks a good batting wicket, why didn’t Strauss bat having won the toss. 
Re: England V Aus - ODI series
Ponting surpassed 13,000 ODI runs in his 350th match today, only the third man after Tendulkar and Jayasuriya to achieve that. Congrats to him
Most runs in career

Re: England V Aus - ODI series
Australia 290/5 after 50 overs
Clarke 99*
Ponting 92
cricinfo:
Very good finish there for Australia, but overall they'd be a touch disappointed they couldn't push up to 300 after the platform laid by Ricky Ponting. Michael Clarke played superbly and deserved a century, but in a way was a victim of his inability to clear the ropes and ended unbeaten on 99. The pitch is true, the outfield fast, but chasing down a score as big as 290 won't be easy at all.
