Skipper Ricky Ponting slammed seven sixes in his century, which, surprisingly, had a solitary four.

In a manner reminiscent of the 2003 World Cup final against India, Ponting and Damien Martyn put on an unbroken partnership of 149 runs for the third wicket in 16.2 overs to propel Australia to a daunting 347-2 in their allotted 50 overs.
