Australia wins the series 2-0 to regain the Chappell-Hadlee Trophy. The second game was abandoned.

Remember in Ponting’s absence (Gilchrist, Lee and McGrath also missed that series), NZ won the one-day series 3-0 last year

Ponting’s 134* was his second hundred of the series and 25th overall putting him in second place in the all-time list behind Tendulkar (41)

TOP 6:

Tendulkar (41 hundreds / 407 Matches) - 15962 runs, ave: 44.33
Ponting (25 / 288) - 10835, ave: 44.40
Jayasuriya (25 / 403) - 12207, ave: 32.63
**Ganguly **(22 / 311) - 11363, ave: 41.02
Saeed Anwar (20 / 247) - 8823, ave: 39.21
Brian Lara (19 / 299) - 10405, ave: 40.48

Ponting at his best, when was the last time he appeard mediocre?:hmmm:

with Lee, Tait and Bracken, Australia will have no problem dismissing their opponents cheaply.

next target: India and Pakistan.

Re: Ponting gains revenge with series win

I know everybody has their own opinions about who is the best batsmen but to me it does not get any better than Ricky Ponting. He is so much fun to watch. To me he is the best batsmen I have ever seen bat. I rate him higher than Sachin, Lara, Kallis etc. He is 33 now so I am trying to watch every innings he play before he retires!
