Brilliant Ponting seals the deal v Gallant Bangladesh
Australia 269 (Gilchrist 144, Rafique 5-62) and 310 for 7 (Ponting 118*, Hayden 72, Rafique 4-98 ) beat Bangladesh 427 (Nafees 138, Bashar 76, MacGill 8-108) and 148 (Nafees 33, Gillespie 3-18) by three wickets
Ricky Ponting held his nerve to take Australia to a three-wicket victory over Bangladesh shortly after lunch on the final day. Australia were pushed almost to the limit, but Ponting proved yet again why he is the world's most destructive batsman with an innings for the ages. Australia have taken a 1-0 lead in the series.
