Australia 334/6 in 50 overs (Ponting 113, Hayden 60, Gilchrist 46) beat Scotland 131/10 in 40.1 overs (CJ Smith 51, G McGrath 14/3) by 203 runs
Match Home
The result of this 'contest' was always a foregone conclusion. Ok, there have been upsets in ODI's in the past, but honestly Scotland didn't have a cat in a hell chance of beating Australia.
Batting first, Australia amassed 334/6 in 50 overs. Punter Ponting continued his prolific ways by notching up another century. The way this guy has been batting over the last 2 years is quite scary. He will surely go down as one of the greatest batsmen of this era and will probably hold most of the batting records. Ponting came into this game on the back of some heated differences with Gavaskar, which probably spurred him up.
In reply, Scotland were never in the chase. Oooh Aaah Gleen McGrath was at this best again picking up three top order wickets before allowing other bowlers in this team to share the spoils.Looks like Glenn's final hurrah is going to be memorable.
